Hi, if anyone else than me thinks that reading the source of a python
module in your favorite editor, by clicking a link in the pydoc html
page covering that module would be nice, read on.

I have:
1. a very short python script (which parses the pydoceditor url
and executes os.environ['EDITOR'] with the parsed out file as the
parameter). I have the EDITOR variable set to gnuclient myself, but I
guess not everybody would want to use emacs so you can set EDITOR to
notepad or whatever suits you).

2. a small registry addition (registering a pydoceditor url
type, and a handler python script for that type), This is the only
part of the equation that is strictly win32 specific, I don't know how
to register handler's for url types on *nix or other platforms so...

3. a tiny hack to the pydoc.py source that makes this happen (which
changes the file: url to a pydoceditor url).

Post if there is any interest.

Looks like this should be:

http://home.online.no/~syver-en/files/PyDocEditorStarter.py

The other 404's me.

That's correct,
http://home.online.no/~syver-en/files/PyDocEditorStarter.py
is the address, shows what harm copy paste does :-)
