It allows you to quickly retrieve and search for documentation from your shell. For example, if you needed a quick refresher on the :mod:`time` module, pulling up documentation would be as simple as: .. code-block:: console $ pydoc time The above command is essentially equivalent to opening the Python REPL and running: .. code-block:: pycon >>> help(time)
