[issue25990] Pydoc fails on Python file with nonlocal

[Steve Litt]

New submission from Steve Litt:

Latest pydoc on Void linux 64 bit, I have no idea how to capture the version. 
Source file can be either Python 3.4 or 2.7, same result.

ERROR MESSAGE:

[slitt@mydesk ~]$ pydoc pydoc_fail
problem in ./pydoc_fail.py - : invalid syntax 
(pydoc_fail.py, line 6)

Thanks R. David,

You indeed got to the crux of the problem. I performed the following
command and everything worked perfectly:

python3 /usr/bin/pydoc pydoc_fail.py

I tried to note on the bug tracker that the problem is solved by using
Python3 to run pydoc and this wasn't a bug, but was unable to add
anything to issue 25990. I saw no "reply" button, and "Edit" was a
label, not a button.

How do I reply on the bug tracker?

Thanks,

Steve
