I also removed some other references to CHM, which we no longer support/install.

Is this correct? -- while the .pdf removal (1 line of the diff) was backported, the .chm removal was not, so that this should not backported?

@terryjreedy I'm not sure I follow, sorry. I'm on mobile and don't have the issue to hand, sorry, but I understand that we stopped bundling CHM years ago? I don't think it's included on any supported branch, from memory.

I checked my 3.13 and 3.14 installed IDLE (Windows) and F1 for each opens the local html python doc index in installdir/html. So I am sure that backport is right. Will set to automerge.
