Navigating Python documentation in Emacs

I've been a bit frustrated with my ability to navigate Python documentation in Emacs.  I came across the pydoc command, which seems very useful.  Then I wondered how I could leverage this in emacs, maybe write a lisp function in my .emacs file?

Enter a simple google search for "emacs pydoc", and you come across this fine project by John Kitchin.  He has a summary of it here:

Now, I love my elpy setup, so I thought I'd propose adding this into it.  No promises from Jorgen, but he did say that at the very least it needs to be its own package.

John, of course is very busy, and I've always wanted to do something like this in Emacs, so I volunteered to take on this project.  So get ready to follow along on how I create a MELPA distributed Emacs package. Yay, this should be fun. :)
