cgidocs.py

This document describes cgidocs.py, a CGI-based Viewer for the Python Documentation.

Features

Hierarchic table-of-contents
Alphabetically sorted index
Fulltext search
Freeware, Open Source, written in Python.
Index stored in MySQL database.
Runs on Linux and Windows.

Requirements

Python 2.0 or higher.
A MySQL database.
The MySQLdb module for python must be installed.
A webserver. I use Apache, but other common mailservers should work fine, too, provided they can run Python cgi-scripts.
A browser that supports frames and javascript navigation in frames. I have successfully tested cgidocs.py with Konqueror, Mozilla and that other browser.
