[issue7425] Improve the robustness of "pydoc -k" in the face of broken modules

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

It turns out that the proposed fix here for pydoc was independently added in the early days of Python 3 but was not backported.  That fix for 2.7 plus a fix-in-progress for Issue7367 (for both 2.7 and 3.x) and additional test cases (also in progress) should address most if not all of the pydoc crash issues.  I'll also review the other open issues.
