"""Generate Python documentation in HTML or text for interactive use.
In the Python interpreter, do "from pydoc import help" to provide online
help. Calling help(thing) on a Python object documents the object.
Or, at the shell command line outside of Python:
Run "pydoc <name>" to show documentation on something. <name> may be
the name of a function, module, package, or a dotted reference to a
class or function within a module or module in a package. If the
argument contains a path segment delimiter (e.g. slash on Unix,
backslash on Windows) it is treated as the path to a Python source file.
Run "pydoc -k <keyword>" to search for a keyword in the synopsis lines
of all available modules.
Run "pydoc -p <port>" to start an HTTP server on a given port on the
local machine to generate documentation web pages.
For platforms without a command line, "pydoc -g" starts the HTTP server
and also pops up a little window for controlling it.
Run "pydoc -w <name>" to write out the HTML documentation for a module
to a file named "<name>.html".
Module docs for core modules are assumed to be in
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/
This can be overridden by setting the PYTHONDOCS environment variable
to a different URL or to a local directory containing the Library
Reference Manual pages.
