Once you press OK on the error messages the help viewer works, but it's annoying to have to do this on each start. Here's a patch that fixes this: --- viewdocs-orig.py 2005-03-25 09:46:30.000000000 +0100 +++ viewdocs.py 2005-03-25 10:46:26.923038904 +0100 @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ # setup the args args = ['', - '--cache='+basePath, + '--cache=/tmp', os.path.join(basePath, 'wx.zip'), os.path.join(basePath, 'ogl.zip'), ] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run as regular user: python /usr/doc/wxPython-2.4.2.4/docs/viewdocs.py Actual Results: Two successive error messages: 1. can't open file '/usr/doc/wxPython-2.4.2.4/docs/wx.zip_zip_wx.hhp.cached' (error 13: Permission denied) 2. can't open file '/usr/doc/wxPython-2.4.2.4/docs/ogl.zip_zip_ogl.hhp.cached' (error 13: Permission denied) Expected Results: No error messages.

Thanks Ivan, fixed in 2.4* and added to 2.6.0.0 which just went in portage. 2.6.0.0 also has the new api html documentation as well. The demo files are now included (I removed wxpython-demo).
