How did it fail? Tell us what _did_ happen.

It works fine for me:

$ pydoc module1
Help on module module1:

NAME
     module1

FILE
     /tmp/robert/module1.py

DATA
     a = 'A'
     b = 'B'
     c = 'C'


$ pydoc module2
Help on module module2:

NAME
     module2

FILE
     /tmp/robert/module2.py

DATA
     __all__ = ['a', 'b']
     a = 'A'
     b = 'B'
