If the argument contains a path segment delimiter (e.g. slash on Unix, backslash on Windows) it is treated as the path to a Python source file.

Run "pydoc -p " to start an HTTP server on a given port on the local machine to generate documentation web pages. For platforms without a command line, "pydoc -g" starts the HTTP server and also pops up a little window for controlling it.
