The command:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pydoc /usr/bin/pydoc
Creates a link called /usr/bin/pydoc that points to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pydoc
On my system, this file doesn't exist. Instead, I have:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pydoc2.7
Notice the 2.7 at the end.
So you've created a link to a file that doesn't exist and you get a complaint on your command line. The fix is simple, delete /usr/bin/pydoc (first make sure it is a link by typing ls -l /usr/bin and look for pydoc -- if it has an l next to its permissions, then it's a link). Then, type:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pydoc2.7 /usr/bin/pydoc
This will create a link to the correct file and you should be able to run pydoc as a script now.

See http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython for installers for the latest 2.3 release for Mac OS 9 and related documentation.

December 15, 2013 - So this finder is given “/usr/bin/pydoc” as an argument, and it decides what to really run. It’s special-casing “/usr/bin”, and actually invoking /usr/bin/pydoc2.7.
