My man(1) also respects MANPAGER (it’s the one from http://man-db.nongnu.org/), but given the lack of a standard, I agree with you.

However, I’m reluctant to add another env variable.  There are workarounds, for example using a shell alias like “docpy="PAGER=most pydoc"”.  I think this warrants a python-ideas discussion.

Justin: what exactly is a pager that does not support man pages?
