Question

Since Python 2.6, it seems the documentation is in the new reStructuredText format, and it doesn\'t seem very easy to build a Texinfo Info file out of the box anymore.

Another "workaround" is to execute pydoc as suggested by Nikokrock directly in Emacs:

(defun pydoc (&optional arg)
  (interactive)
  (when (not (stringp arg))
    (setq arg (thing-at-point 'word)))

  (setq cmd (concat "pydoc " arg))
  (ad-activate-regexp "auto-compile-yes-or-no-p-always-yes")
  (shell-command cmd)
  (setq pydoc-buf (get-buffer "*Shell Command Output*"))
  (switch-to-buffer-other-window pydoc-buf)
  (python-mode)
  (ad-deactivate-regexp "auto-compile-yes-or-no-p-always-yes")
)
