Hi Robert,
help() is just a regular function that must be called with correct
Python syntax and the import keyword is not allowed in an argument list.
The correct syntax is:
help('import')
Cheers,
Brian

import is a keyword, not an object.

i'm sure there's a painfully obvious answer to this, but is there a
reason i can't do:
>>> help(import)
File "", line 1
help(import)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
on the other hand, i can certainly go into "help()" and type
"import" to get that help. it seems counter
