New submission from Wieland Hoffmann: In Python 3 one can use `pydoc -p 0` to start a pydoc HTTP server on an arbitrary unused port. This works (somewhat) in Python 2 as well, except that pydoc doesn't tell you which port it's listening on. Applying the attached patch makes pydoc print the correct port.
