Hi, folks.  First off, I've done "due diligence" searching the Python Refs
and Google, to no avail.  I seem to have forgotten something fundamental
about using help with module-level docstrings: help('myModule') is raising
an "index out of range" exception.  myModule.py is an argument-requiring
"script" (i.e., no "top level" def) that begins with a triple-quoted,
multi-line docstring.  The only "clue" I have is that if I first try to
import the module, I get a  "myVariable = sys.argv[1] IndexError: list
index out of range" exception, which is no surprise since, as I said, the
module requires at least one command line argument.  Does help try to
import an object before attempting to spew its docstring?  If so, is there
a "workaround" for my use-case as it stands, or do I have to "fix" my
script so that all arguments are optional?  If that's not the problem, any
other ideas what it might be?  Thanks in advance!
