When using the interactive python help and entering xml.etree the help page contains a link faulty link to the online documentation. The link in the help page is: MODULE DOCS http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree But the correct link is: http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree

I believe the problem is with pydoc. In the case of xml.etree, I don't think it should be displaying anything for MODULE DOCS. help(xml.etree.ElementTree) does display the proper link. The attached patch and test fixes the problem.

Fixed in trunk (r79518), release26-maint (r79519), py3k (r79520), and release31-maint (r79521).

Hello Is it ok that the code checks “object.__name__ not in ('xml.etree')”? Looks like a failed single-item tuple to me. Besides, what about using a simple “!=”? Regards

Good catch. That was intended to be a single tuple because the other check above is a tuple, but because this really only checks one thing it could be a != until its necessary to be a tuple. I'll fix it.
