Help on symbol does not work with relative imports

[Urs Fleisch]

Reproduction:
Create two files mod1.py and mod2.py in the same directory.

--- mod1.py
def func1():
    """Help on func1."""
    print 'func1'
--- mod2.py
import mod1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    mod1.func1()
---

Point on mod1.func1, C-c C-e

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/mod2.py3710LMc.py", line 2, in <module>
    import mod1;pydoc.help('mod1.func1')
ImportError: No module named mod1

The python file generated to create the help text cannot import modules from the current directory.

The attached patch fixes the problem.

Hi Urs,

with example given, IMO it should print something like:

func1()
    Help on func1.

##########

which it doesn't, so exists a bug.

Beside remember some discussion related to current directory and path.
AFAIU it considered a risk having the working dir in PYTHONPATH, resp. having that done unnoticed.

Maybe I'm misreading your patch or being wrong otherwise.

Or others may comment,

thanks,

Andreas

Hi Urs,

unfortunately your mail containing

pycomplete_1531_1533_bzrsend.patch

pycomplete_doc_signature.diff

vanished from my reader.

Patch has been saved before, just can't answer that post.

It's very interesting stuff indeed.

As you asked, in cases new features are introduced, pushing an own branch at lp
probably is best.

BTW will be away from computer for some days, after next week it should go on

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi Urs,

please upload your branch here followed by a merge-request.

So we may discuss your extension, which looks promising for me,

thanks,

Andreas
