Summary: pydoc doesn't create html-file

Initial Comment:
The call

c:\Python25\Lib\pydoc.py -w testdoc

results in an error-message:

Traceback ...
  File ...
  ...
 
  ...
  File "c:\Python25\Lib\inspect.py",line 564,in walktree
   classes.sort(key=attrgetter('__module__','__name__'))
TypeError: attrgetter expected 1 arguments, got 2

The same call with Python 2.4 works correctly

regards,

Gregor Lingl

The problem is that when you call pydoc.py directly, it will
use whatever interpreter is registered in your Windows
environment to run .py files, which in your case is the 2.4
interpreter.

The 2.5 version of pydoc uses some new features which
require a 2.5 interpreter to run, so until Python 2.5 is
installed on your box use something like

c:\python25\bin\python c:\python25\lib\pydoc.py ....
