Thus far, installing and getting Python 2.6 running properly on x64 Windows 7 has managed to be a fat pain in the butt. Latest in my saga of silliness, is that the PyDoc server doesn't run properly. Initially, I was getting "pydoc is not recognized as an internal or blah blah" from the shell, so I added Python26/lib to the PATH variable. Now PyDoc starts, but doesn't show any information in the browser.
The shell gives me this:
C:\Users\josh.SCL>pydoc -g
