[issue28908] pydoc getdocloc() is broken

[Neil Schemenauer]

Neil Schemenauer added the comment:

Attached is a first pass at the idea of just keeping a list of standard modules that have docs.  I generated the list with:

$ (cd Doc/library; ls *.rst | sed 's/.rst//')

Probably that should be incorporated into the Doc/Makefile somehow.

Perhaps instead of generating a text file, we should generate a Python module that contains a set literal, e.g. Lib/pydoc_data/libs.py.  That would have the advantage of working for frozen distributions or stdlib as Zip files.
