Ahmet Altay commented on BEAM-693:
----------------------------------

Thank you for looking at this. We can defer the other options for documentation 
to the https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-817 . Let's fix the 
instruction for pydoc in the readme. 

According to [1] develop has the advantage if you are making frequent code 
changes. Most of our users would not change the code so install is a better 
option. (This also helps because we recommend install for using in other parts 
of the readme.)

Readme should be updated to say something along these lines:

"""
Make sure you installed the package first, if not run 'python setup.py install' 
then run pydoc with 'pydoc -p 8888'
...
"""

Marco, would you like to make that change?
