I want to use pydoc as some online tutorial shows, but it cannot run as

"some online tutorial"?

Correct - in the interactive interpreter, typing the name of an object
prints its value. You have imported a module and then typed its name.
pydoc sys
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
import sys
pydoc sys
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
In both of these, there is no operator after "pydoc", so what does it mean?
help(pydoc)
Help on module pydoc:
......
Instead of omitting the result of that, read it!
FWIW, The relevant part based on what I _think_ you're trying to do (as
you didn't include the URL of your "some online tutorial") is probably
this part:
"""
DESCRIPTION
In the Python interpreter, do "from pydoc import help" to provide
online
help. Calling help(thing) on a Python object documents the object.
Or, at the shell command line outside of Python:
Run "pydoc <name>" to show documentation on something.
