[New-bugs-announce] [issue8637] [PATCH] pydoc should respect MANPAGER over PAGER.

[Justin Bronder]

New submission from Justin Bronder <jsbronder at gentoo.org>:

Similar to man(1), pydoc should respect the environment variable MANPAGER over PAGER.  The current behavior causes issues when using a PAGER that does not support man pages.

Patch based off of trunk, r80871
