Help on module array:

NAME
    array

FILE
    /usr/opt/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/array.so

MODULE DOCS
    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-array.html

    type is specified at object creation time by using a type code, which
    is a single character.  The following type codes are defined:
    
etc.
