[issue5783] IDLE cannot find windows chm file

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

It looks like IDLE has been the same since 2004:
 
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py?view=diff&r1=36600&r2=36601

The "correct" filename is what has changed.  

The release process needs to have a step that validates that the CHM
file works from IDLE.

FWIW, I think the version naming convention is unnecessary and makes the
IDLE linkage too fragile.  It would be better to just always call the
file Python.chm.  By way of comparison, the regular html docs do not get
custom names -- they are just index.html in a doc directory.

----------
priority: critical -> release blocker
versions: +Python 3.0
