Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I have looked at the pydoc module. Everything except help() is intended to be private. The author says within the file that __all__, when present, defines public interface and uses that definition within help() to decide what to display. So I do not think anything else should be documented unless it is made 'public' by being added to pydoc.__all__ or moved to another module. In either case, the result would be a new code feature. Doc addition would naturally follow. Also, if a function is made public, the interface and code could be reconsidered for possible modification for general usage.
