to go :) ]
Hello,
I'm working on a gnome python app (gramps genealogy program) and am
wondering if there is a way to call gnome.init without knowing where to
search for the help info?
For example, yelp knows where to look, but it appears that I need to
explicitly tell gnome to look in /usr/local/share:
>>> import gnome
>>> gnome.init('gramps', '0.0', properties =
{'app-datadir': '/usr/local/share'})
>>> gnome.help_display('gramps')
If I leave app-datadir out, it won't find it. I realize that if I put
the help in /usr/share that it will work.
Is there some other way to tell it to "just look in the right places"?
Thanks for any hints,
-Doug
