See the documentation of ;; `pydoc-menu-help' for details on each available command. ;; ;; NOTE: You *must* install the following for pydoc.el to work: ;; ;; python-mode.el 4.1.1 or higher as your Python editing mode (included ;; in the pydoc.el distribution) ;; ;; pydoc_lisp.py in your Python site-packages directory (unless ;; these functions are already integrated into pydoc.py) ;; ;; set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to the root directory ;; of your Python html documentation tree, for example: ;; export PYTHONDOCS=$HOME/Python-2.1/Doc/html/ ;; and then startup your editor (otherwise, the environment variable ;; setting won't be inherited by the editor and some commands will not ;; work). ;; ;; Install and byte-compile pydoc.el in one of your load-path directories ;; and then either set it to autoload or do a (require 'pydoc) in your ;; editor initialization file. Then invoke it via the menu key binding. ;; ;; DESCRIP-END. ;;; ************************************************************************ ;;; Other required Elisp libraries ;;; ************************************************************************ (require 'python-mode) ;; Ensure that the user has a python-mode version which supports pydoc.el.
