 It doesn't seem to need the patch then. An example that doesn't work in 2.4 
 is "pydoc print", IIRC. I think classes and methods having a doc string work, 
 while language constructs dont't, unless the HTML docs are installed and the 
 patch is applied.
 
 However, as said, this seems to be done differently now and doesn't seem to 
 need any of both.
