[steve@ando ~]$ python3 -m pydoc --help
pydoc - the Python documentation tool
pydoc <name> ...
Show text documentation on something. <name> may be the name of a
Python keyword, topic, function, module, or package, or a dotted
reference to A CLASS OR FUNCTION within a module [...]
(Emphasis added.)
So, no, reading the docstrings from individual objects is not supported by
pydoc's command line interface. You could possibly add that functionality,
but I don't know how much effort it would be.
