pydoc lives in

C:\PythonXX\Tools\scripts

And the best way to run it is probably to use the GUI so cd to the 
folder and run

python pydocgui.pyw

Or create a shortcut to do the same...

Basically it will provide you with a prettified web version of the 
help() output!
For that reason I tend not to use it much... YMMV

HTH,
