Offline documentation for specific version of pycharm

问题

Often I need to work offline for my python projects. How can I download PyCharm documentation for offline use?

回答1:

There's an option in PyCharm: go "Settings/Tools/Python External Documentation"; BUT it seems thishas not been working with local files for a long time due to a PyCharm bug.

You can start a local server and pretend it to be a docs.python.org site.

1. Get docs archive

2. Unpack archive to folder named exactly "3.6"

3. Edit your hosts file:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       docs.python.org
::1             docs.python.org

4. Reboot

5. Run server. Go to the dir where "3.6" folder is located and run:

python -m http.server 80 --bind 127.0.0.1

for linux use sudo python -m http.server 80 --bind 127.0.0.1
