Sorry, I don't understand: info-look.el already supports "C-h S" for
Python code, assuming you have a Python manual in Info format
installed.  So why would a separate add-on package such as pydoc-info
be needed nowadays?  Perhaps it was needed many years ago, when
info-look.el didn't have the Python part?  Or what am I missing?

What other GNU programming packages which have Info manuals and
suitable Emacs major modes are not supported by info-look.el?
