This isn't quite what I meant either; I had intended it to be done at either Python build or install time. Your method is much simpler, though, I like it.
That said, here's the diff between the (now) current Lib/idlelib/help.txt and the Sphinx ``make text`` output of Doc/library/idle.rst. I've not found where we've automated the pydoc topics generation, else I'd try to provide a patch to do this as well. |
