Pydoc is a documentation module for the Python programming language. Similar to the functionality of Perldoc within Perl, Pydoc allows Python programmers to access Python's documentation help files, generate HTML pages with documentation specifics, and find the appropriate module for a particular job.[1] Pydoc can be accessed from a module-specific GUI[2], from within the Python interpreter, or from a command line shell.[1][3] Developed by Ka-Ping Ye, it is included by default in all versions of Python since Python 2.1 and is available for download for 1.5.2, 1.6, and 2.0.[3]
