I know how to use pydoc from the command line. However, because of
complicated environmental setup, it would be preferable to run it
within a python script as a native API call. That is, my python runner
looks a bit like this:

  import pydoc
  pydoc.generate_html_docs_for(someFile)

However, it's not clear to me from the pydoc documentation which
function calls I need to use to make this behavior work. Any ideas?



Did you try 'pydoc pydoc'? ;)

  

import pydoc
htmldoc = pydoc.HTMLDoc()
htmldoc_for_pydoc = htmldoc(pydoc)
print htmldoc_for_pydoc



  
By the way, just in case the OP didn't know, there is the epydoc module 
(google it) which is doing basically the same things than pydoc, but 
with a much better look and feel to my opinion.
