Not quite.  In situations where no PAGER was set and less was not 
found, as I indicated it emitted "sh: less: not found".  That was the entire 
reason for submitting the patch.  I'm more than willing to accept that my 
patch was incomplete or incorrect in some way, but I was trying to 
address the issue of pydoc noisily informing me that 'less' was not 
available.
