The documentation from pydoc is generated from doc-strings
in the python source. Not only does this limit what you can
do with it (hence the need for more elaborate
documentation), it is also reasonable that this
documentation remains terse. You should consider it more as
a quick reference in stead of full-on documentation. 

I have submitted a small patch (1243910) to include a
comment in the doc-string about quote.
