Summary: Minor change to pager choice in pydoc.py
Initial Comment:
If $PAGER is not set, and the "less" command works,
then pydoc pipes its
output to less. If $TERM is "dumb", or "emacs", this
is a pretty inconvenient
choice. This patch sends the output to stdout in those
cases. I find it easier
to use, especially when working with in a shell
subordinate to emacs, where
you can use the paging facilities of emacs itself
anyway.
Alex.
