[issue19914] help([object]) returns "Not enough memory." on standard Python types, object and object functions

[HCT]

HCT added the comment:

the other issue I'm also seeing is that help() doesn't seem to take exactly an object as an optional argument. perhaps Python manual for help() should be updated according to the actual implementation?

>>> help('hello')
no Python documentation found for 'hello'

>>> type('hello')
<class 'str'>
>>> a='hello'
>>> help(a)
no Python documentation found for 'hello'

>>>
