Summary: pydoc shouldn't use #!/usr/bin/env

Initial Comment:
I've moaned about this on python-dev but I want to make
sure it doesn't get forgotten.

I've just built from CVS, installed in /usr/local, and:

$ pydoc -g
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pydoc", line 3, in ?
    import pydoc
ImportError: No module named pydoc

because the /usr/bin/env python thing hits the older
python in /usr first.

Don't really know how best to implement this, not being
a distutils whiz.

I am having similar problems with the win 2.1 ver
it seems none of my saved .py files are recognised.
Is this simply a case of not configed as an executable or a 
version clash?
(solutions as well as opinions would be nice)
I can however import string,sys and other modules if that 
muddies the water any.

OK, ping-pong.  Ping, do you have any bright ideas?

The pydoc script is Ping's, really.  Fixing this requires
Distutils 
hackery, and I don't see that this is worth fixing.  Leaving
it to someone else to make the decision to close it, though.

Assigned to Andrew because I seem to recall he wrote the 
pydoc script.
