help(pyexpat) causes an exception:

It's not a problem with pydoc but a problem in the pyexpat module. I
believe that the C code is broken. See for yourself:

>>> dir(pyexpat.XMLParserType)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__',
'__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__',
'__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'xZK\x08']

There is an issue in the method list. Since most lines of pyexpat were
written by fdrake I'm assigning the bug to him.

Fixed in r59083
The sentinel in the methods list of XMLparsetype was missing.
