[issue11182] pydoc.Scanner class not used by anything

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

After saying that pydoc is used by help(), its documentation only tells how to run it standalone. 

help(pydoc) basically says the same, and does not mention any internals, because of "__all__ = ['help']", which the author understood to define the public interface.

So it seems to me that everything other than help() can be considered private and changeable. Scanner does look like a leftover orphan.
