Hands on Documentation for Python methods and Library

Hi,

One can do the following with Perl

$ perldoc -f chomp
$ perldoc -f function_name

or

$ perldoc List::MoreUtils
$ perldoc Some::Module

Can we do the same thing in Python?

You can use the help() function at the Python interactive prompt.
