Uh, not the man page... the output of "pydoc pydoc." Here's a snip:
----------------------------
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.
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. .....
