Pydoc

1
What exactly is pydoc? I know it's suppose to be a documentation reflection API of sorts for python, but can you make use of it as one would use something like doxygen? Also how does one use pydoc from the command line in windows, I see no pydoc in the python25 directory save for in the lib directory.

Thank you all very much for your time,

23.1 pydoc -- Documentation generator and online help system
For the command-line to work, you might need to have your Python installation directory set in the PATH environment variable.
