A prerelease version (0.4.9) of the Vimuiex library is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimuiex/files/

With it you can do sth like:

  :VxCmd !pydoc re

which will display the output of pydoc in an overlapping popup window.
Navigate with B and <space>, filter with / or f. More navigation is
described in the help files (vimuiex.txt)

This was only tested on linux Vim with python and it only works
in console without a Vim Patch. By applying the patch to Vim
source 7.2, the command is also available in GVim.
