help

builtins

function
  • help()
  • help(request)
Invoke the built-in help system. (This function is intended for interactive use.) If no argument is given, the interactive help system starts on the interpreter console. If the argument is a string, then the string is looked up as the name of a module, function, class, method, keyword, or documentation topic, and a help page is printed on the console. If the argument is any other kind of object, a help page on the object is generated.
Changed in 3.4
  • 3.4: Changes to pydoc and inspect mean that the reported signatures for callables are now more comprehensive and consistent.
