There doesn't seem to be any references to it in any other part of pydoc, or the Library for that matter. Searching for it on google code search (and also google web search) only turns up auto generated API references for python editing tools like VIM, and of course it's existence in pydoc itself. This doesn't appear to be related to the ModuleScanner class in any way other than possibly being a bit of left over example code. Can it be removed? |

After saying that pydoc is used by help(), its documentation only tells how to run it standalone. help(pydoc) basically says the same, and does not mention any internals, because of "__all__ = ['help']", which the author understood to define the public interface. So it seems to me that everything other than help() can be considered private and changeable. Scanner does look like a leftover orphan. |

Attached patch does exactly as described. Seems to be unused, and still passes all pydoc tests. |
