Summary: pydoc ignores $PAGER if TERM=='dumb'

Initial Comment:
bug:
pydoc ignores $PAGER environment variable
if TERM=='dumb'

symptom:
when using pydoc as a keyword helper system
(set keywordprg) pydoc scrolls all over its
contents without paging, since gvim sets its
terminal type to 'dumb' for shell escape.

Fix:
patch included. function getpager() rearranged.
