<p>The modules described in this chapter help you write software. For example, the
<a class="reference internal" href="pydoc.html#module-pydoc" title="pydoc: Documentation generator and online help system."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">pydoc</span></tt></a> module takes a module and generates documentation based on the
module’s contents. The <a class="reference internal" href="doctest.html#module-doctest" title="doctest: Test pieces of code within docstrings."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">doctest</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="unittest.html#module-unittest" title="unittest: Unit testing framework for Python."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">unittest</span></tt></a> modules contains
frameworks for writing unit tests that automatically exercise code and verify
that the expected output is produced. <strong class="program">2to3</strong> can translate Python 2.x
source code into valid Python 3.x code.</p>
<p>The list of modules described in this chapter is:</p>
