(Testing with Java 8 on Linux)

Jython 2.7.1b3 (default:77f1bcd04321+, Feb 1 2017, 19:21:14)

>>> import _imp
>>> print _imp.__doc__
This module provides the components needed to build your own
__import__ function.  Undocumented functions are obsolete.

>>> help(_imp)

#Help on class _imp:
#
#_imp = <type 'org.python.modules._imp'>

>>> import _weakref
>>> print _weakref.__doc__
Weak-reference support module.
>>> help(_weakref)
#Help on class _weakref in module __builtin__:
#
#_weakref = <type '_weakref'>
#(END)

>>> 


(By hand I inserted the text displayed by help in each case.)
I imported _weakref, because it sets up __doc__ using classDictInit while _imp only stores a plain __doc__-named static string.
In both cases __doc__ is present in dict correctly, but help fails to use it.
