Summary

Browse Python HTML documentation from Emacs

Commentary

From a database of parsed Python HTML indexes, queries that database using an
external tool (haddoc-lookup) and directs a web browser to the selected page.

The database can be constructed via emacs:
(setq haddoc-db-file "~/haddoc.db")
M-x haddoc-update

Bind the `haddoc-lookup' function to some key and enter the desired search
terms.  I use this::

    (define-key py-mode-map [(control c)(?.)] 'haddoc-lookup)


Description

This a tool for Emacs users writing Python code, who like to use Python HTML
documentation rather than the texinfo.  It saves you time by making it
possible to search the index and direct a web browser directly to the
appropriate web page from within Emacs.
