Yes, on my system, case doesn't matter, but the hyphen does.

I just tried it out on one of my Linux systems at work. It's an aging
openSuSE 12.2 system, so all I could install was 3.2.3, but it worked
exactly like your system. Any capitalization, with or without the
hyphen, and the pydoc3.2 command worked. With LANG=C or with LANG
unset, I get the UnicodeEncodeError traceback.

FYI, I did open a bug report, and tried to transfer the useful bits
from this thread to it:

Thanks to Peter and Chris. I'm off and running. Well, until I stumble
over the next tree root or crack in the sidewalk...
