[issue7749] pydoc error - "No module named tempfile"

[Gabriel Genellina]

On Windows, trying with different Python versions:

D:\temp>python24 -m pydoc sys
[works as expected]

D:\temp>python25 -m pydoc sys
No module named tempfile

D:\temp>python26 -m pydoc sys
No module named tempfile

D:\temp>python27 -m pydoc sys
[works as expected]


If tempfile.py is in the current directory, it works:

D:\temp>cd \apps\python26\lib

D:\apps\Python26\Lib>dir /b tempfile.py
tempfile.py

D:\apps\Python26\Lib>python26 -m pydoc sys
Help on built-in module sys:
...


Directly executing pydoc.py works fine too:

D:\temp>d:\apps\Python26\lib\pydoc.py sys
Help on built-in module sys:
...


so this may be a runpy issue, not directly related to pydoc.
