Windows app that includes Python API

Scripting
1

Sorry all, this is a bit of a weird one to express in writing, but I used to have an app that was basically a vessel for all sorts of downloadable Documentation Libraries, including a rhinoscriptsyntax API with great breakdowns and examples of code.

I had to do a fresh Windows install a while back, and I can’t seem to find my backup for this particular app – nor can I remember the name OR what type of animal it is in order to do a decent online search for it. :sweat_smile:

Anybody have any thoughts, other than laughing emojis at the complete lunacy of this post?

Thx

Alan

Are you just looking for the local help file?

Thanks for taking a shot at this, @dale, but no, it’s a third-party app. :grinning:

I do remember the icon for it looked like a book. And you could search for a whole assortment of API documents/help files, and download them into the app. Then you could search from inside the app, and find code snippets and samples, etc.
