missing pydoc module

[vinnie]

Okay, I tried it and it works.
I deleted everything but "/usr/lib64/python3.9/pydoc" by hand and then repackaged with dir2xzm.
I didn't quite understand what it was for but the removepkg command anyway seems not to be there and wasn't needed.
Thanks

for future reference: removepkg is in /sbin so is only in root's PATH (so if you try to use it as guest, it won't be found)
and on a general note when building modules be sure to have the correct ownerships and permissions for files/directories.

Long post, sorry. I just got triggered and worry a little.

np
if you look back to my post, i edited it(after you saw it), adding a revision with a similar conclusion to you, with the opposite expansion:

Code: Select all

[ "${1##*.}" != "xzm" ]

which strips everything but the .extension off

Resurrecting this old thread because I got mad at the lack of pydoc, and tried this hail mary quick fix to make a standalone module, which surprisingly worked!

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
mkdir python3
cd python3
wget http://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/slackware-15.0/patches/packages/python3-3.9.25-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
unxz python3-3.9.25-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
tar -tf python3-3.9.25-x86_64-1_slack15.0.tar | grep pydoc > pydocfiles.txt
tar xf python3-3.9.25-x86_64-1_slack15.0.tar
while read -r pdf; do cp -a --parents "$pdf" "pydoc/"; done < pydocfiles.txt
sudo dir2xzm pydoc python-pydoc.xzm
sudo activate python-pydoc.xzm

then check that pydoc sys works from Bash, and help(dict) from the Python command line, then move the xzm to your modules or optional folder.
