I'd like to suggest moving the output of a modules version, e.g. VERSION __version__ up as it can "buried" by PACKAGE CONTENTS and DATA items. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.6/Lib/pydoc.py#L1181 The other attributes (date, author, credits) could be moved up, too, e.g. to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.6/Lib/pydoc.py#L1117 Of course this depends on the use case (what are we looking for), but assuming these attributes are rather limited and constant in size, they would not be blocking access to the further items.
