Hi, by default, gentoo set environment variable PYTHONDOCS to : ,---- | /usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5.1/html/lib `---- with python 2.4 it was the same. Thats never work for me and i saw on french forums similar case. I set this variable to: ,---- | /usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5.1/html `---- And like that it's work: May be that can be changed in ebuild. Thierry.
You'll have to tell us what 'never work' exactly means, since the path is correct as it is.
Don't work mean that if you try to get doc of any primitive you have an error like: ,---- | >>> help('print') | | Sorry, topic and keyword documentation is not available because the Python | HTML documentation files could not be found. If you have installed them, | please set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to indicate their location. `---- setting PYTHONDOCS to ,---- | /usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5.1/html `---- solve the problem.
