Yes, pydoc is a pretty new module: there's a brief reference to it 
on the "What's new with Python 2.1" page:

    http://www.amk.ca/python/2.1


There is an article on OReilly's web site here:

    http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2001/04/18/pydoc.html

which gives a high-level introduction to pydoc.  Ironically enough, the
documentation on pydoc itself seems a bit sparse: does anyone else know of
a place that explains pydoc?
