cgidocs.py is a CGI-based Viewer for the Python 2.2 Documentation.
Features are:

- a hierarchic table-of-contents,
- an alphabetically sorted index,
- and a fulltext search engine (if installed locally)
- Freeware, open source.

for all of the python documentation, similar to what HTMLHelp for
Windows offers. It makes the HTML documentation more usable (I
believe). You can try out a version online at

http://www.p-nand-q.com/cgi-bin/cgidocs.py

You need a browser that supports frames and javascript navigation to
use it. I tested it with Konqueror, Mozilla and that other browser on
Windows.

Note that I don't know how long I can afford to keep the CGI up since
I have a server traffic limit. So, if you like it, please install it
locally (or on a mirror site). The online version does not include
grep search (although you could modify the source to do so).

Download and more information is available at

Seems to work fine in Opera (6.0 TP2 on Linux).

Looks really nice, and I like your TOC. However, the little plus and minus
icons in the hierarchic tree are not "working" for me. At least, in Mozilla
0.9.6, when I click on the plus/minus icons, nothing happens. I got quite a
few of the subtrees opened, and then I wanted to close some of them, and
couldn't figure out a way to do this.

Do you not have this installed? I wanted to try out your search engine, but
couldn't find any link to such an item.

Ahhh...I should've read this far.
