Interesting, help does not show up in the index of http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html and a glance at the TOC leads me to believe that it is not mentioned there. How are people currently expected to know such things?

Laura (who knows it only because Michael Hudson showed it to her one da y.)

It is in the Library Reference under built-in functions, but I agree that it ought to be mentioned in the tutorial too. I've added a bug on SF about this. You could have done the same.

Ok, next time I will. Thank you. Laura
