How to get context sensitive help ?

Hello,

I've 2 questions about python help files:

1. how can I launch the windows help file (CHM), from python with a
keyword as argument ?

2. now when my program should also run under Linux/Mac, how should I
call the help file under Linux/Mac.

Going to the website for the help information is not an option.

thanks,
Stef

If you want simple and cross platform help display then the wx.html.HtmlHelpController works well. It provides a UI that is much like the CHM viewer, and uses files in the same format as CHM (but not compiled into a CHM file.) It can also be used standalone, see the wxDocsViewer app that comes with wxPython on Mac OS X.
