Nick> If you type "pydoc re" at the moment then it says in it
Nick> MODULE DOCS

Nick> which is pretty much useless to me when ssh-ed in to a linux box
Nick> half way around the world...I get quite a bit of information about re (I've never known /F to be a documentation slouch). Only one bit of that information is a reference to the page in the library reference manual. And if I happen to be ssh'd into a machine halfway round the world through a Gnome terminal I can right mouse over that URL and pop the page up in my default local browser. If you set the PYTHONDOCS environment variable you can point it to a local (or at least different) copy of the libref manual. A flag could be added to pydoc to show that content instead, however being html it probably would be difficult to read unless pumped through lynx -dump or something similar.
