PythonDetectors is a set of Apple Data Detectors that will open an entry in
the Python Library from a keyword in contextual menus. It looks up either
module name and open the relevant page or looks up a built in function and
opens at the entry in the Builtin functions page.
If anyone would like more functionality please contact me.
To use it you must have Apple Data Detectors 1.0.2 installed This can be
obtained from http://www.apple.com/applescript/data_detectors/
Two action files are provided "OpenPythonLib" will open the library file
with whatever application is defined as the Internet Config 'file' helper.
"OpenPythonLib with NS" opens the library file with Netscape.
Instructions
============
1/ Open the two apple script files with the Script Editor and change the
first compiled line to point to the location of your Python Library
folder.
2/ Open the Apple Data Detectors Control Panel and choose Install Detector
File... from the File menu.
3/ Pick a Detector file from the dialog.
4/ Let the Data Detectors Control Panel optimize the detector.
5/ Choose Install Action File... from the File menu.
6/ Pick an action file from the dialog.
7/ The Data Detectors Control Panel will automatically place the new action
with its detector. You can click on the action in the control panel window
to view information about its use.
