I want to run the pydoc server while doing development inside a container. However, the pydoc http server only binds to localhost with no option to override this. This means that if I'm trying to read the docs from a remote machine, I have to do some network Jiu Jitsu.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Pydoc takes a new argument that overrides the hostname the server binds to.
• Pydoc continues to default to localhost
