=======
import pydoc
import os
import sys

'''this is a test'''

class A(object):
        '''docstring'''
        pass

_path, _file_name = os.path.split(__file__)
_module_name = _file_name[:-3]
sys.path.append(_path)
pydoc.help(_module_name)
=====

Note: I've included an underscore in variables names so that they would not 
appear.
Note 2: for some reason, which I do not understand, it shows the help twice 
(i.e. I have to hit "q" twice to make it go away).  Sorry that I can not help 
with this.
