>>> help('nonlocal')
no Python documentation found for 'nonlocal'

As a language keyword, it clearly should have documentation.

r84376.

[cben]

Reopening because help('nonlocal') still doesn't work; attached patch fixes that. It also cross-links all of global/nonlocal/NAMESPACES.

[birkenfeld]

Applied in r86608. Thanks!

Was this left out of 3.1 and 2.7 on purpose?

[ezio-melotti]

I backported it to 3.1 as part of 99d5542399a1.
