Not a big deal, but "$ pydoc enum.Enum" and "$ pydoc enum.IntEnum" fail to retrieve the docstrings, while they are visible with "$ pydoc enum".

This is because bool(enum.Enum) is False. Other example:$ pydoc3 builtins.Falseno Python documentation found for 'builtins.False'$ pydoc3 builtins.TrueHelp on bool in builtins object:builtins.True = class bool(int)...Here is simple fix.

Lgtm, needs a test case.

The fix is definitely an improvement. Though there is still one obvious flaw remaining, which applies to any attribute that is set to None:$ ~/proj/python/cpython/python -bWall -m pydoc builtins.NoneNo Python documentation found for 'builtins.None'.Use help() to get the interactive help utility.Use help(str) for help on the str class.

In 3.5 at least 'pydoc None' works.

I think we can ignore this flaw. 'pydoc None' works, and any solution for None aliases could break existing code that use private pydoc functions.Here is a patch with a test.

Patch looks good, get it in!  :)
