Make 3.13 docs and copy-strip idle.html to idlelib/help.html. See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/139707#issuecomment-3737374788 and PR #143718 message for more. * Revert url to 'main' from '3.13' The branch in the source links in the revised help.html become '3.13' instead of 'main' because the html was generated from an edited 3.13 version of idle.rst instead being backported from main. This reversion avoids the possibility of future backport merge conflicts. The version makes no difference to the Help/IDLE doc display as the url is currently neither displayed nor linked to the link title -- 'Lib/idlelib'. If we do make the links live, we can use sys.version_info to replace 'main' when main is no longer the source branch. --- diff --git a/Doc/library/idle.rst b/Doc/library/idle.rst index 9e87704c2862..8249eeb15cce 100644 --- a/Doc/library/idle.rst +++ b/Doc/library/idle.rst @@ -37,6 +37,11 @@ IDLE has the following features: * configuration, browsers, and other dialogs +The IDLE application is implemented in the :mod:`idlelib` package. + +This is an optional module.
