Please find attached a first pass at a patch file. Help('') produces help for
the str class as discussed. I found the difference between help('help') and
help() very confusing. The former produced the help output but left you at the
interactive prompt, the latter took you to the help utility. Both now take you
to the help utility. I've changed the test file but two test fail, here's the
output from one as they're virtually identical.
FAIL: test_input_strip (test.test_pydoc.PydocDocTest)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Use help(str) for help on the str class.
I can't see where the difference between the .\nUse and .\r\nUse is coming from
so thought fresh eyes would do the job.
