     8 The modules described in this chapter help you write software.  For example, the

     9 :mod:`pydoc` module takes a module and generates documentation based on the

    10 module's contents.  The :mod:`doctest` and :mod:`unittest` modules contains

    11 frameworks for writing unit tests that automatically exercise code and verify

    12 that the expected output is produced.  :program:`2to3` can translate Python 2.x

    13 source code into valid Python 3.x code.
