pyutils module

[Mekire]

is there an easy way (i know a couple hard ways) to redirect the output of help() to a file?   file= does not work.

Pydoc has an option to output the documentation as an html file.

$ python -m pydoc -w color_change
wrote color_change.html

Or just send it to a file as normal (maybe slightly different syntax on linux; I forget):

$ python -m pydoc color_change > "documentation.txt"
