I think that's the long-term goal. But the interpreter is the canonical Python user interface. Once we get information flowing into there, it will be easier to repurpose the information for the GUIs. Anyhow, I find this pretty useful: $ python onlinehelp.py dir Topic: help( <built-in function dir> ) | dir([object]) -> list of strings | | Return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some of) the attributes | of the given object. Without an argument, the names in the current scope | are listed. With an instance argument, only the instance attributes are | returned. With a class argument, attributes of the base class are not | returned. For other types or arguments, this may list members or methods. -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus It's difficult to extract sense from strings, but they're the only communication coin we can count on. - http://www.cs.yale.edu/~perlis-alan/quotes.html
