Thanks R. David,

You indeed got to the crux of the problem. I performed the following
command and everything worked perfectly:

python3 /usr/bin/pydoc pydoc_fail.py

I tried to note on the bug tracker that the problem is solved by using
Python3 to run pydoc and this wasn't a bug, but was unable to add
anything to issue 25990. I saw no "reply" button, and "Edit" was a
label, not a button.

How do I reply on the bug tracker?

Thanks,

Steve
