I've had the same thing happen to me. My initial debugging shows the
root cause of the failure is that import of one of the modules it's
recursing over tosses up an exception.
The bug can be eather seen as a bug in the installed module that's
coffing up the hairball, or a failure in pydoc to gracefuly degrade when
tripping over such modules.
I've worked around the problem on my system by patching pkgulit.py to
not propgate exceptions from the walk_packages function.
Its a bit of a hack but if you comment out lines 117 and 118 in
pkgutil.py the error will go away.
Note this bug is the same as #135619
