Currently pydoc only binds to IPv4 localhost, not the "any-address" 0.0.0.0. See Issue 22421 and Issue 672656. Apart from satisfying Hans’s expectation, what is the benefit of running pydoc on IPv6? I guess it would be possible to bind two sockets, one to IPv4 localhost (127.1 or ::ffff:127.0.0.1), and the other IPv6 localhost (::1). But why bother?
