Summary: pydoc fails on package in ZIP archive

Initial Comment:
I have Foo/__init__.py and Foo/bar.py in a ZIP archive,
test.zip, which is in the PYTHONPATH. 

pydoc works on Foo.bar, but fails on package Foo.

% pydoc Foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/bin/pydoc", line 5, in ?
    pydoc.cli()
  File "../python-2.4/lib/python2.4/pydoc.py", line

  File "../python-2.4/lib/python2.4/pydoc.py", line

    elif request: doc(request, 'Help on %s:')
  File "../python-2.4/lib/python2.4/pydoc.py", line

This is fixed in the 2.5 release.  The details of the
fix are quite involved, so it is unlikely that it will
be backported.
See revision 45510 for details:
