[issue3196] Option in pydoc to show docs from private methods

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

This option would be more useful if it became an optional argument to the help() function.  For someone working at the python command line prompt, having to switch to pydoc to see private method documentation may be inconvenient.  It is more natural to write

>>> help(foo, show_private=True)
