python - Pydoc is not working (Windows XP)

Question

Using Windows XP and Python 2.7 I tried to run "pydoc" through the terminal. unfortunately it doesn't work.

Since I'm not allowed to post a screenshot (Newbie). Here is what it says (white on black)

What I type:

"C:Python27>pydoc raw_input  /"pydoc raw_input"

My result (It's German an it roughly translates to"The command "pydoc" is either spelled wrong or couldn't be found.):

Der Befehl "pydoc" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden. 

What am I doing wrong?

By the way, I just started to teach myself programming using Zed Shaws "Learn Python the Hard Way" and this is the first issue I really can't figure out using Google. I start to believe that it is Windows an not me... (being too broke to afford a Mac and to scared to learn Linux).

Answer 1

for me

% python -m pydoc <params here>

worked. python will look for pydoc.py in the right directories without further ado.
