pydoc has a regex hard coded for supporting hyperlinks. It supports http and ftp. It should support https.

Agreed. pydoc is a library module.  3.5 and 3.6 only get security patches.

This looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.python.org/issue38786, which was fixed in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/17143
That PR wasn't backported, but maybe it should be.
