My Python Scripts

This was forked from https://github.com/gpambrozio/PythonScripts, so if you want the most recent versions of any of the other scripts besides as3Docs2Docset, go there

as3Docs2Docset

Simple script to turn Actionscript 3's HTML documentation into a docset that can be browsed and quickly searched using the Dash OSX app. This is based off of but heavily modified from gpambrozio's original pythonDocs2Docset.

Pre-requisites

This script uses BeautifulSoup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) and lxml.

Using the script

• Download the documentation for the version you want here. You should download the zip file for the HTML version of the docs.
• Expand the documentation somewhere.
• Open terminal and cd to the folder where you expanded the docs.
• Run the script from this folder. Use --help to list the necessary arguments. Note that --numberOfProcesses can drastically speed things up if you have multiple physical cpu cores in your computer!
• The script will create a as3.docset bundle with all the necessary files.
• Move the python.docset bundle to some folder. I recommend ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets
• Go to dash's preferences -> docsets, then click the + and select the as3.docset bundle you just saved somewhere
• Use it!
