> Isn’t the root problem that pydoc uses import rather than imp or PEP 302 things? We could change that. It's possible to get the documentation of some module without loading them: pydoc already supports get_source() method of a module loader. But my concern is more about C modules: you have to load them to get their documentation, but you can never a unload C modules (you have to exit Python).
