The interactive interpreter offers these facilities with 'dir' and
'help'.

E.g.:

>>> x = range(10)
>>> dir(x)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__',
'__delslice__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__',
'__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__iadd__',
'__imul__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mul__',
'__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__repr__', '__rmul__',
'__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__setslice__', '__str__', 'append',
'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse',
'sort']

>>> help(x.insert)
Help on built-in function insert:

insert(...)
    L.insert(index, object) -- insert object before index
