pydoc (at least on win32 2.2.2) offers the 
tools/scripts files, but it blows up on several that are 
not prepared to be used as modules (including, I 
think, pydocgui, which may well be a special case).  I 
suggest changing the scripts to use the 
    "if __name__ == '__main__':" 
magic on those that blow up.  
Sorry I don't have a full list at the moment, I'll 
remedy that this weekend.

Less vital, but still desirable, would be to do the 
same for those scripts, like byteyears, that perform 
some action and simply yield an error message.
