In the past I've been able to download it from the Python web site, but have been unable to locate it anywhere for this new release. I can't build it myself because I don't have the Microsoft HTML help file compiler. Thanks in advance.

The chm file will be in C:\Python27\Doc (if you choose the default installation directory). Otherwise ask a friendly local Windows user for a copy.

Perhaps it's hidden somewhere, but I couldn't find the .chm help file in the python-2.7.msi file using 7-zip, nor saw anything that looked like a Doc folder embedded within it -- so I doubt installing it on a Windows machine would work any better. I'd like to view the contents of the help file without actually installing the release which would wipe out any currently installed version (I'm one of those rare people who actually reads manuals *before* using or installing most things.) So my original question stands -- where can one get the Windows Help file for v2.7?
