It's not a problem with pydoc but a problem in the pyexpat module. I
believe that the C code is broken. See for yourself:

>>> dir(pyexpat.XMLParserType)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__',
'__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__',
'__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'xZK\x08']

There is an issue in the method list. Since most lines of pyexpat were
written by fdrake I'm assigning the bug to him.
