So why would a separate add-on package such as pydoc-info be needed nowadays? Perhaps it was needed many years ago, when info-look.el didn't have the Python part? Or what am I missing? > This is something that would be really nice to have as default for most > GNU packages in most programming modes. What other GNU programming packages which have Info manuals and suitable Emacs major modes are not supported by info-look.el?
