[issue13926] pydoc - stall when requesting a list of available modules in the online help utility

[Roger Serwy]

You're right. The pkgutil.walk_packages method called from ModuleScanner seems to be importing the submodules. I should have said that in the last message.

I'll try to be clearer. What should the correct behavior be when entering "modules" in the interactive help system? This is an open question to anyone.
