Pydoc documentation doesnt work

[Cosmosso]

I keep trying to make a html documentation file with pydoc .

I run my code in Python IDLE Shell and then use this:

import <your module name> as name:
import pydoc
pydoc.writeDoc(name)

But it doesn't work at all. I don't get a .html documentation file of my program.
Could someone help?

I have also tried this:

pydoc -w myModule.py

in IDLE and it also did not work.
