Description Behdad Esfahbod 2003-11-11 06:59:59 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031030 Epiphany/1.0.4

Description of problem:
There are already man pages for C, Perl, and Tk.  Let's have Python's
manual there too.  It is already somewhere around the hard disk, as
help() function in Python interpreter generates in man format.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.2.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man sys
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  nothing found

Expected Results:  find sys module man page of Python

I would think this is an RFE that should be submitted upstream, to the
python folks - it doesn't have anything to do with the way Red Hat
packages python. If you have a patch, I'll be happy to submit it upstream.

Feel free to reopen the bug, of course.

You seem completely right.  Sorry for the noise.  Forgetting about
that for the moment.
