While trying to track down another bug, I disabled some packages: [dima@bmg tmp]$ chmod a-x /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/speechd* Then ran pydoc -k: [dima@bmg tmp]$ pydoc3.4 -k n688954789 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pydoc3.4", line 5, in <module> pydoc.cli() File "/usr/lib/python3.4/pydoc.py", line 2548, in cli apropos(val) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/pydoc.py", line 2080, in apropos ModuleScanner().run(callback, key, onerror=onerror) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/pydoc.py", line 2061, in run desc = (module.__doc__ or '').splitlines()[0] IndexError: list index out of range Clearly "".splitlines() is always empty; missing doc is not handled correctly.

Replacing 2061 with the following should work for all versions. desc = module.__doc__.splitlines()[0] if module.__doc__ else ''

Made change based on Terry J. Reedy's suggestion

Thanks for the patch! It looks like the "synopsis" function also has this bug. Could you fix that, too?
