How to import pydoc and then use it?

I know how to use pydoc from the command line. However, because of
complicated environmental setup, it would be preferable to run it
within a python script as a native API call. That is, my python runner
looks a bit like this:

  import pydoc
  pydoc.generate_html_docs_for(someFile)

However, it's not clear to me from the pydoc documentation which
function calls I need to use to make this behavior work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
