Emacs: Open Python Doc 📜

here's a convenient command to open the python doc.

(defvar xah-python-doc-path
  (list "~/AppData/Local/Python/pythoncore-3.14-64/Doc/html/index.html")
  "A list of file full paths to python doc in HTML, used by `xah-python-open-doc'.
Each element is checked to see if it exist. (this is useful if you have multiple machines with different operating systems.).
On Windows Python 3.9, it's a .chm file, not supported by this command.
