[issue5699] Strange interaction between -m and pydoc

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

If you use "python -m pydoc", pydoc will not find standard modules
written in Python.  This leads to a traceback for example using "python
-m pydoc -k sys".  Somehow, sys.path gets modified in a strange way,
which can be seen from

$ python -i -m pydoc
(...)
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
[... does not include /lib/python2.6 or /Lib ...]
