pydoc
-----

:program:`pydoc` is a utility that is installed when you install Python.
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)
