Google helps a lot indeed.

I use also quite a lot the TAB key in IPython, and the '?' mark after a
name function that I'm not sure if it is what I'm after.  When this
technique is used in combination with packages that are hierarchically
structured (i.e. subpackages of subpackages) like SciPy is, this turns
out to be stunningly effective (at least for me).
