RFE: It would be nice to be able to read the documentation without being root #27

It's not possible to run "pydoc RPi.GPIO" was an unprivileged user:

  $ pydoc RPi.GPIO
  problem in RPi.GPIO - SetupException: No access to /dev/mem.  Try running as root!

It seems that there must be some way to have this not be a fatal error when 
running pydoc.
