The Python interactive interpreter comes with a powerful interactive help system. At the Python prompt, you can enter:help() help("keyword") # e.g. "raise" help(any_object) to get help and documentation.
Thank you for this tip. I sort of was aware of it but had no idea of how much help was there. I certainly had no idea that modules were documented as well: alex@t61p:~$ python3 Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:18) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
help('key words')
no Python documentation found for 'key words'
help('keywords')
Here is a list of the Python keywords. Enter any keyword to get more help.
False def if raise None del import return True elif in try and else is while as except lambda with assert finally nonlocal yield break for not class from or continue global pass
import csv help('csv')
...and documentation of the modules appears in the pager! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
