New submission from Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda:

Steps to reproduce:

[bkabrda@zizalka python]$ python
>>> help()
help> keywords
<snip>
# prints lots of keywords including "print" and "exec"
</snip>
help> print
no documentation found for 'print'


So either keywords should not list "print" and "exec" or the documentation for 
them should be built. IIUC, the help for these should be part of 
pydoc_data/topics.py, which gets generated by 
Doc/tools/sphinxext/pyspecific.py. However, in revision [1] some topics got 
removed ("print" and "exec" amongst them) without the commit message saying 
anything helpful. Either way, this is inconsistent and should be fixed 
(assuming that Python 2.7 is still supposed to get this sort of fixes).

Thanks.
