Summary: pydoc support for keywords

Initial Comment:
[ from http://bugs.debian.org/186775 ]

If one uses $ man perl
one gets on a path that can lead one to eventually find
docs for the
most basic commands like 'while'

However for python one sees one is to use pydoc. But
running pydoc,
one just sees
  pydoc - the Python documentation tool

  /usr/bin/pydoc <name> ...

etc. no hint about how to learn about basics like 'while'.

BTW, I wish it would say pydoc, not /usr/bin/pydoc
