There might be a better way of doing this, but one way to get the docstrings that show up with ? is:
q = globals().keys() q.sort() docstrings = [eval(x).__doc__ for x in q] It really depends on what exactly you want to do though - it may be more helpful to use a dictionary where the keys are the keys in globals () and the values are the docstrings.
