Since 2.7.11, 3.4.4, and 3.5.1, idlelib contains a committed help.html, displayed by Help => IDLE Help. In my Windows 2.7.12 installation, the file is missing, even after 'Repair'. IDLE Help silently does nothing. I don't remember if I tested the 2.7.11 installation. It is present in current 3.5/6 installations. Someone needs to test on other machines and OSes to determine if this omission is specific to my machine or the (2.7) Windows installer. |

Irv, could you check on any 2.7.11/12 installations you have access to? |

On my Mac (with version 2.7.12), selecting Help -> IDLE Help brings up a window titled "IDLE Help", it has a pop down with "TOC" selected and many pages of text documentation. On my Windows system (also with version 2.7.12), selecting help -> IDLE help does nothing. I tried it from both the Shell window and from an editor window, and no documentation window appeared. |

Thanks Irv: Windows specific it appears to be. Benjamin, Martin, Steve: the 2.7 Windows .msi installer should be fixed to include idlelib/help.html before its next release. Does it use an explicit list of file glob patterns to include? |

Tools/msi/msi.py has a whole lot of code to explicitly include certain files. Probably just needs a line (or a glob) added into the idlelib section |

Does attached file look correct? |

I think so. I don't remember if anything else is needed to make it work. Were you able to test it? Or I'll give it a quick go on the build machine once you've committed. |

Done. I plan to test by downloading and installing the release candidate. If you can first test now, that would be great. |

I ran a build and the file is included now. I didn't test an install or the functionality from IDLE, so make sure you cover that with the RC (and since there won't be an RC with a release blocker open, I'll resolve this and we can reactivate if there are new issues). |
