Wilfred Hughes provides a tool which seems to permit building info docu for any Python version. Source here: http://github.com/wilfred/python-info After unpacking, either follow the recipes in README.md or, when aiming for an info of a different Python version, edit the Makefile in directory build. Replace the hard-coded Python-version by the one you need: Worked nicely here with Python 3.3.0 This will create `build/python.texi`. Afterwards run `makeinfo' at the texi-file. In order to get them recognised by Emacs info-reader, maybe copy the info-files into a known info-directory and edit the "dir" file there - the head of newly created info-files containes a line, which must appear in file "dir". At Linux that directory which keeps the info-files should appear in $INFOPATH. ###### `info-lookup-symbol' needs patched python-info.el available at http://bitbucket.org/andreas_roehler/pydoc-info Thanks Jonathan Waltman providing the original python-info.el: http://bitbucket.org/jonwaltman/pydoc-info
