I think changing the behaviour of the pydoc command line app is a fine idea - it's only the pydoc.serve and pydoc.gui functions that are worrying me. As I noted on the tracker issue, there's a reasonably clean way to do this, even given the coupling between the 3.1 GUI app and server: leave the existing serve() and gui() functions alone (aside from adding DeprecationWarning), and add your new implementation as a parallel private API.
