[Tutor] How to Automatically generate a synopsis for a Module

Hello: 
If I start the python interpreter, then import a file, and
type 
help(module_name_here)
Documentation about the module is displayed in detail.

I would like to write a python script that 
Searches for all python scripts in a directory, and
extracts (initially) the description for each script as
a string so that I can print to stdout.

IOWS:
I want to extract what help(module) would display in
the python interpreter.

Any ideas? :-) 
TIA
tim
