help('TYPES')listedFILESandhelp('UNICODE')listedunicodeunder "Related help topics", buthelp()finds no entry for either. TheFILEStopic was removed fromHelper.topicsin 3.4 (gh-63118) while the cross-reference fromTYPESwas kept, andunicodeis the Python 2 built-in type. This removes both.The new test runs
help()on every related topic listed by thehelp()topics and keywords, and on the target of every alias entry (such as'PACKAGES': 'import'), and checks that none of them prints "No help entry found". Without the fix it fails for exactly these two entries.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
