Pydoc can be invoked like this: $ pydoc -p 1234 means: start pydoc and run a webserver on port 1234. Wouldnt it be cool if this could be started as a service from /etc/init.d, with a conf.d file to tell the system what port to run pydoc on. If your main business is python programming then pydoc would be there for you allways. I think Gentoo is already by far the best distro for python developers (and users of Py apps like Zope), but this would be an added convenience. compnerd@gentoo.org 2004-08-09 16:12:45 0000 Created an attachment (id=37127) /etc/conf.d/pydoc compnerd@gentoo.org 2004-08-09 16:14:34 0000 Created an attachment (id=37128) /etc/init.d/pydoc Put the files in the appropriate places (see the name), and chmod +x /etc/init.d/pydoc You should be able to then just rc-update add pydoc default to automatically launch the pydoc server. You *MUST* have the /etc/conf.d/pydoc file as well as that stores the port for the server. liquidx@gentoo.org 2005-04-20 10:17:23 0000 could be a good thing, but rather low on my list of priorities since if you have python, you probably have pydoc on your console anyway. djc@gentoo.org 2006-06-15 08:30:29 0000 I have done this for my own machine as well. Would be nice to have. dev-zero@gentoo.org 2008-03-01 13:40:03 0000 Added for the latest revisions of python-2.{4,5} without revision bump (since we have to do such in the next couple of weeks anyway). Thanks. chat.noir@arcor.de 2008-03-11 11:55:01 0000 this has been incorporated into python 2.4 and 2.5 ebuilds, however now slotting is broken, as it is part of both slots. I don't know how to fix this. I need multiple versions of python installed for development pursoses though. Please help! dev-zero@gentoo.org 2008-03-11 14:25:23 0000 sorry, that was my fault. Should be fixed now, the pydoc init.d/conf.d scripts will get installed as pydoc-2.4, resp. pydoc-2.5. Please wait a couple of hours, resync and re-emerge python-2.4 and python-2.5. Sorry for the inconvenience. chat.noir@arcor.de 2008-03-11 16:02:43 0000 Oh! That was quick, thank you! 37127 2004-08-09 16:12 0000 /etc/conf.d/pydoc pydoc text/plain IyAvZXRjL2luaXQuZC9weWRvYy5jb25mCiMgJEhlYWRlcjogCgojIFRoaXMgZmlsZSBjb250YWlu cyB0aGUgY29uZmlndXJhdGlvbiBpbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBmb3IgcHlkb2MncyBpbnRlcm5hbAojIHdl YnNlcnZlci4gIFRoZSB2YXJpYWJsZXMgc2hvdWxkIGJlIHJhdGhlciBzZWxmIGV4cGxhbmF0b3J5 IDotKQoKIyBEZWZhdWx0IHBvcnQgZm9yIFB5dGhvbidzIHB5ZG9jIHNlcnZlcgpQWURPQ19QT1JU PTc0NjQK 37128 2004-08-09 16:14 0000 /etc/init.d/pydoc pydoc text/plain IyEvc2Jpbi9ydW5zY3JpcHQKIyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDA0IEdlbnRvbyBUZWNobm9sb2dp ZXMsIEluYy4KIyBEaXN0cmlidXRlZCB1bmRlciB0aGUgdGVybXMgb2YgdGhlIEdOVSBHZW5lcmFs IFB1YmxpYyBMaWNlbmNlIHYyCiMgJEhlYWRlcjoKCiMgc291cmNlIG91ciBjb25maWcKc291cmNl IC9ldGMvY29uZi5kL3B5ZG9jCgpkZXBlbmQoKSB7CgluZWVkIG5ldCBkb21haW5uYW1lCn0KCnN0 YXJ0KCkgewoJaWYgWyAkUFlET0NfUE9SVCA9IDAgXSA7IHRoZW4KCQllZXJyb3IgIkludmFsaWQg cG9ydCB2YWx1ZSIKCQlyZXR1cm4gMQoJZmkKCWViZWdpbiAiU3RhcnRpbmcgcHlkb2Mgc2VydmVy IG9uIHBvcnQgJFBZRE9DX1BPUlQiIAoJc3RhcnQtc3RvcC1kYWVtb24gLS1zdGFydCAtLWJhY2tn cm91bmQgLS1tYWtlLXBpZGZpbGUgXAoJCQkgIC0tcGlkZmlsZSAvdmFyL3J1bi9weWRvYy5waWQg XAoJCQkgIC0tc3RhcnRhcyAvdXNyL2Jpbi9weWRvYyAtLSAtcCAkUFlET0NfUE9SVAoJZWVuZCAk Pwp9CgpzdG9wKCkgewoJZWJlZ2luICJTdG9wcGluZyBweWRvYyBzZXJ2ZXIiCglzdGFydC1zdG9w LWRhZW1vbiAtLXN0b3AgLS1xdWlldCAtLXBpZGZpbGUgL3Zhci9ydW4vcHlkb2MucGlkCgllZW5k ICQ/Cn0K
