Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

os.devnull is a string, so “pydoc os.devnull” will tell you about
strings, and “help(os.devnull)” will be evaluated to
“help('/dev/null')” which won’t match any topic. Same thing with os.sep
and other module data; the doc is in the module’s docstring.
