Summary: pydoc(.org) does not find file.flush()

Initial Comment:
Dear reader(s),

On http://pydoc.org/ a search for 'flush'
(of the builtin File object) does not find it
(I knew Python had to have a C-ish fflush()
 and of course I did find it in the end).

This is strange, because 'class __builtin__.file' does
occur in pydoc, e.g. search on 'open' and it finds:

  http://web.pydoc.org/2.2/__builtin__.html#file

And there flush() is also sitting there:

  http://web.pydoc.org/2.2/__builtin__.html#file-flush

A grateful pydoc(.org) user, kind regards,

Eric

I fixed this a while ago, but didn't come back here to close the issue.

Searching for "flush" now returns the method of the built-in 'file' object as 
the first hit, as expected.

Sorry, we've got no connection with pydoc.org, and I have 
no idea how they programmed their search function.  I 
suggest you contact Ping directly:
