pydoc is Python's built-in documentation tool that displays module documentation generated from docstrings and introspection. It can show documentation for modules, classes, functions, and keywords in the terminal, search across all installed modules with -k, or generate static HTML files with -w.
The -p flag starts a local HTTP documentation server that provides a browsable interface to all installed Python modules, and -b opens this server automatically in the default web browser. pydoc is part of the Python standard library and provides the same functionality as the interactive help() function.
