Hi Robert,

Thank you for your note. It works fine for me with 
python2.5. However python2.3 results in

./gendocs.py -m 'scipy.linsolve.umfpack'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./gendocs.py", line 261, in ?
     main()
   File "./gendocs.py", line 207, in main
     default = 1, help = help['page'] )
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/optparse.py", line 820, in 
add_option
     option = self.option_class(*args, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/optparse.py", line 430, in 
__init__
     checker(self)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/optparse.py", line 499, in 
_check_type
     raise OptionError("invalid option type: %r" % 
self.type, self)
optparse.OptionError: option -p/--page: invalid option 
type: <type 'int'>

How can I resolve this problem ?
