This means that the program "pydoc" is not installed on your computer,
or is installed somewhere where the operating system (I'm guessing
you're using Windows?) can't find it.
Use the Find File command, and see if you can find something called
"pydoc". You may need to call the full path to the program, e.g.:
C:\My Documents\path\to\program\pydoc raw_input
or you may need to install it :)
So, I go back to the terminal and type: python
Then I type: pydoc raw_input
The computer spits back:
File "<stdin>", line1
pydoc raw_input
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(There is a carrot symbol under the "t" of input.)
pydoc is an external tool made with Python, it is not a Python command
you can run. However, Python does come with an internal tool that is
nearly as powerful: help().
From the Python prompt, type:
help(raw_input)
and Enter, and you will get something very close to what pydoc would
have given you.
