how to find out the OO hierachy via the documentation?

[Leo]

hi all

newbie question: how do i find out the OO hierarchy of a class in the python
docu?

the story: i want do play with the web server classes. so the first task
would be a basic server with SimpleHTTPServer. in the docu i've read about
the test() function but i couldn't find this function in the
SimpleHTTPServer class and even not in the BaseHTTPServer class which might
be the ancestor.

so now i'd like to walk through the OO hierarchy of SimpleHTTPServer...

any help is appreciated!

cheers, leo

The epydoc project (http://epydoc.sf.net/) has generated API docs for the
Python 2.2 standard library with this sort of info in it, e.g.:
http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/stdlib/public/SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler-class.html

You can use

pydoc -p 9999

or on Windows perhaps

python c:\path\to\python\pydoc.py -p 9999

on the command line and then access documentation generated on the fly with
your preferred browser:

http://localhost:9999/SimpleHTTPServer.html
