Comment:
Yes, that's true. `pydoc` just like `sphinx.ext.viewcode` (see #29942)
imports modules, that's why it will crash when required packages are
missing or if settings are not configured. Setting
`DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` fixes this issue in most cases. I don't see a
clear path to solve this in Django. I'm against adding a new management
command for [https://docs.python.org/3/library/pydoc.html pydoc] and
adding multiple `if __name__ == ...` seems clunky and decrease code
readability.
Maybe a discussion on DevelopersMailingList will bring some ideas, but I
don't think it's feasible without side-effects.
Thanks for the report.
