26
+:program:`pydoc` is a utlity that is installed when you install Python.
27
+It allows you to quickly retrieve and search for documentation from your
28
+shell. For example, if you needed a quick refresher on the
29
+:mod:`time` module, pulling up documentation would be as simple as
30
31
+ .. code-block:: bash
32
33
+ $ pydoc time
34
35
+The above command is essentially equivalent to opening the Python REPL
36
+and running
37
38
+ .. code-block:: python
