Hi to all,

i have created a copy of my WinXP development environment (Python/Eclipse/PyDev/Qt) on Ubuntu and things are working great!
The only "problem" i have for now is this:
In Windows, i can locate the Python help file at "C:\Python25\Doc\Python25.chm" and place a shortcut of this on my Desktop for convenient use.

Where is the respective Python help file in Ubuntu so i can place a Link of it in the desktop for the same use ??

make sure you've: apt-get install python-doc
Then the docs are in:
/usr/share/doc/python/html/index.html

Here are some options I thought of (though I haven't tried some):

+ The swish-e package lets you index HTML pages among other things. It seems to be quite powerful.
+ KDE has the kchmviewer package that would let you view your Windows compressed HTML file (.chm).
+ Google when online.
+ grep the HTML directory recursively.

Yes. You might need universe, but I found them by searching the package lists.

I downloaded and installed kchmviewer. I am able now to use Python .chm help file (Windows version) on Ubuntu and i am happy!

Thank you all!
