Summary: pydoc may hide non-private doc strings.
Initial Comment:
I am using Python version 2.3.4, pydoc version 1.86.8.1
on WinXP SP2.
pydoc's visiblename() method indicates "Private names
are hidden, but special names are displayed". However,
visiblename's private name qualifier seems to be
(name.startswith('_')) while Python's private name
qualifier is something more along the lines of
((name.startswith('__') and ((name[-1] != '_') or ((name[-1]
== '_') and (name[-2] != '_')))).
Having said that, it would be useful if a command line
switch enabled documentation for private names. This
would be helpful in a development environment...
