The help function is not a built-in but an instance of a class defined in _sitebuiltins.
Like other instances, it has neither __qualname__ nor __name__, but its __class__ does.

indeed:

In [7]: help.__class__.__qualname__

Out[7]: '_Helper'


One of the tricks with Python is that not all Callables are functions -- even if they appear to be.

Why do you want a __qualname__ for help?

Hi,

A lot of python's built-in functions have an attribute named __qualname__.

However, the built-in `help` function has no __qualname__ attribute.

In a future version of python can we have:
help.__qualname__ = "help"
