[issue1185124] pydoc doesn't find all module doc strings

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

+        except:
+            pass
...
+    except TypeError:
+        return None

I don't understand these try/except. First, "except: pass" must never be used, only catch specific exceptions (ex: AttributeError). Can you explain why you expect a TypeError?

If your patch fixes a bug, you must add a new unit test to test_pydoc to check for non-regression.
