It looks like there are no automated tests for pydoc; it's even listed in test_sundry.py. There's only one file Lib/test/pydocfodder.py which defines "Something just to look at via pydoc", but isn't used anywhere (I grepped and found nothing). I've attached a patch just to document one point where pydoc behavior differs from 2.5 to 3.0: describe() used to return 'instance of ClassX', now it returns only 'ClassX' (which means this test will pass in 2.5 but not in 3.0). Functions main and test_main were copied from test_modulefinder.
