Python Documentation: Search Python documentation with suggestions and define functions

[RuiPereira]

Hi all,
 
This is an Alfred v2 workflow to search the online Python documentation. It loosely emulates the behavior of the (javascript-based) Sphinx search function of the site.
 
Installation
 
Download v1.0 and import into Alfred v2.
 
Usage

• py [your search string] - search in the online Python documentation
  • the Python3 documentation is available with py3
  • selecting an item will open the corresponding documentation page, highlighting the search string
  • you can quicklook the documentation without leaving Alfred with ⌘Y

• modifier keys
  • cmd - returns a succinct definition for function entries from the local pydoc (Python 2 only)​
  • 
  • ctrl - forcibly rebuild the local index​

Features

• tab-completion
• list module contents

• fuzzy logic

 

Enjoy!
