Other people have also given answers, but the one with tab-completion
is a "quick and dirty" way...
It works if you're on Unix only, iirc. Put this in a file
~/.pythonrc:
import rlcompleter, readline
readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')
And set PYTHONSTARTUP to ~/.pythonrc .
Then you can use Tab in the interpreter to show different
ways of expanding something:
import sys
sys.<TAB><TAB>
It'll show what you can fill in after sys. Very useful.
This probably uses one of the other methods mentioned internally.
