Hi,

1) *PLEASE* reply to all. This is particularly important in cases like 
the present one, where I personally have no idea what the trouble is, 
and thus don't have the ability to help.

2) Sending the results of help(HTMLParser), etc. isn't useful -- it 
makes for a giant email the contents of which we all can get by typing 
help(HTMLParser) in our own python shells :-) It is better to send 
just the unexpected things.

As for the problem:

For me, the 580 Server Error is unexpected, indeed. And, I'm afraid it 
takes us past my competency and knowledge level. Though I do wonder if 
you are running a firewall such as ZoneAlaram -- that could interfere 
with Module Docs attempts to serve up documentation. But that's just a 
guess: *I* can't help further.

Best,
