How to get pydoc command working in Windows?

Question

pydoc does not work in Windows. at this post Pydoc is not working (Windows XP) the last answer by dave webb says to create a pydoc.bat file with this code in it:

@python c:\Python27\Lib\pydoc.py %*

After I create pydoc.bat where should it be placed so the pydoc command works in the command prompt?

PS adding C:\python27\Lib\pydoc.py to the Windows path in the system environment variables does not work. Even after logging out and back in it does not work.

Answer 1

put it in any folder that is in your PATH. Example: C:\Windows\System32

Alternatively, you can put it anywhere, and then add the folder it is in to windows PATH
