The Idle options/configuration dialog had a useless Help button that did nothing. #17721 commented out the creation and packing of the button. This issue is about making the Help method work. Perhaps it should open the general help document at the options section. Or perhaps this should be a separate file. Once Help() does something, re-enable the 4 disabled lines. |

This patch brings back the help button to idle config dialog. It uses regex to "get" the correct section from the help.txt file(the same file used to display IDLE help). To make it more useful,i have added few help sentences to each of the tabs present in the idle config dialog. |

Help has been restored, but perhaps not with this patch. Before closing, I should check if there is anything I want to use. |

The help file is help.html. Pulling snippet from this would be rather awkward. The suggested additions to help.txt more or less duplicate the Setting preferences subsection. So closing. |
