Not sure if this > feature request makes sense. Sphinx is used to generate Python docs AFAIK, and it supports info format output. There is also the MELPA package python-info which is "a simple Emacs package to provide an info manual for Python": https://github.com/wilfred/python-info Perhaps we should support that use case in vanilla Emacs? One can always hope that more GNU/Linux distributions takes the hint and starts generating and shipping the info files for Python. (And that interested users files bugs with their respective GNU/Linux distribution, Homebrew for OSX, etc. if they don't already do that.) Thanks, Stefan Kangas
