And there are some special topics like
help("DICTIONARIES")
for an introduction to dictionaries. I wonder if anybody *ever* found that documentation from the interactive prompt. There would certainly be a point in advertising this documentation somehow when entering the interactive help prompt.
I just noticed that these topics *are* advertised in the interactive help prompt, and can be listed by entering "topics". Apparently I never read the introduction text carefully enough.
There is also keyword-based module searching by entering
modules [keyword]
The help function lives in the pydoc module. Try this if you are using python 3.1 or later. It's a very nice way to look through pythons library.
import pydoc pydoc.browse()
Cheers, Ron
at the help prompt.
