On my windows PC, it's c:\Python31\Lib\pydoc.py

So, to do what the tutorial is suggesting, you would need to open a
command prompt (cmd.exe) and run:
c:\Python31\Lib\pydoc.py raw_input

Note: Since I have python 3.1 installed, that wouldn't actually work,
because python 3.1 no longer has a raw_input function -- it's been
renamed to just input.

If you want to be able to run pydoc.py without specifying the full
path every time, I could add C:\Python31\Lib to my PATH environment
variable.
