I agree with you about the filename, I think PyDoc is probably overkill for something so simple. There's no reason to confuse new people with PyDoc. (Does Zed use PyDoc in LPTHW? No. (Except for the pydoc command suggested for reference.))

I'm not sure why PyDoc is so complicated: just explain it like a comment that you only put in certain places. You don't have to explain build tool integration or anything.

  The video was trying to show a simple program; it's better for less syntax (often confusing for beginners) to have to be explained, at least at the start.

    He could have just used the syntax for PyDoc and explained comments later.

      Curious – Zed didn't use PyDoc, does that make his book bad too?

        Nope. I shouldn't have put those two things together because one is bad programming practice and the other is just a disagreement I have with his style.
