If you want to find out about all the methods of dict then try:
lib\pydoc.py dict
from a shell prompt, or
>>> help(dict)
from the interactive interpreter.
The catch is that many of the methods that will be shown aren't really
relevant to dictionaries, so you will need to ignore the irrelevant ones.
Run pydoc interactively ('lib\pydoc.py -g') or as a web-server if you want
to get the output as strangely coloured html. e.g. 'lib\pydoc.py -p 8081'
then point your browser at 'http://localhost:8081/dict' for help on the
dict type. (Pick a different port number if 8081 is used on your machine.)
http://localhost:8081/__builtin__ is a good starting point to browse the
builtin types, and http://localhost:8081/ will give you an index of all the
modules installed on your system.
