On Windows, Wing looks for local copies of Python documentation in the ``Doc`` 
directory of the Python installation(s), either in CHM or HTML format.

If you are using Linux or OS X, the Python manual is not included in most
Python installations, so you may wish to download and install local copies.

To do this, place the top-level of the `HTML formatted Python manual`__ (where
``index.html`` is found) into ``python-manual/#.#`` within your Wing
installation.  Replace ``#.#`` with the major and minor version of the
corresponding Python interpreter (for example, for the Python 2.7.x
manual, use ``python-manual/2.7``).

Once this is done, Wing will use the local disk copy rather than going to the
web when the Python Manual item is selected from the Help menu.
