[issue11831] "pydoc -w" causes "no Python documentation found" error when the path is not current directory

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

pydoc help:

  pydoc -w  ...
Write out the HTML documentation for a module to a file in the current
directory. […]

So there is no support for not using the current directory, probably on purpose 
in order to use the current-dir-in-sys.path trick, so I’m not sure if this 
should be addressed.

(These days I would be more worried about src directories, which I’ve just 
tested are not handled well by pydoc, but that would be a different ticket.)
