[Py2exe-users] Way to include Python's builtin help in a py2exe app?

[David G. <d.l...@gm...>]

Hi!  I: am running Python 2.7.3 and py2exe 0.6.9 in 64-bit Windows 7; did
"due diligence" before posting this; and know that Python's built-in help
"is intended for interactive use."  Nevertheless, using the code:

    if len(sys.argv)-1:
        if sys.argv[1].lower()=='help':
            help('myapp')
            return

I have my application successfully using Python's builtin help such that if
I type at a DOS prompt:

    python myapp.py "help"

it replies the same as if I typed help('myapp') in the Python interpreter.
Also, my app builds and runs fine using py2exe...except this help
functionality:

    myapp.exe "help"

returns "NameError: name 'help' undefined".  I tracked this down to py2exe
not importing "site.py" (the automatically imported module that imports a
wrapped version of pydoc.help) which I can understand, since its name
implies that it probably imports deployment-specific data.  Nevertheless, I
tried various ways to "work around" this "limitation," all unsuccessful, so
I've decided to post here: is there some way to include for py2exe either
site.py or, preferably (since site.py appears to import many, many other
things I don't need) pydoc, or even just pydoc.help, such that myapp.exe
"help" will work the same as python myapp.py "help"?  Thanks!
