Using Python documentation similar to unix man pages
pydoc sys
or
python -m pydoc sys
For html documentation
pydoc -p 9000
Now server will start running in port 9000. we can access the documentation in http://localhost:9000
To get help while working inside interpreter, type help()
>>help()
Help prompt will come, now we can type module name to get details about that module.
sys
To list functions/attributes inside a module
import sys
dir(sys)
To get it in readable format
import sys
for i in dir(sys):
print i
To list builtin functions,
import __builtin__
for i in dir(__builtin__):
print i
To see which are all the modules loaded in our program
import sys
for i in sys.modules:
print i, ": ", sys.modules[i]
