|Dear Sir,
|How to find out what variable are in the memory?

if i understand you correctly the following will work:

>>>dir()

though that will give you all namespace objects (functions, etc...) - not
just variables

|Is there a way to get help info. on functions? Sth like help funcname?

I think your best bet is to view the html documentation  --   i find mine in
C:\Python\Doc\ -- depending on your platform (and installation directory),
you should be able to find it in a similar subdirectory.  Also, it's
available on-line http://www.python.org/doc/current/.  Use the module index
to locate the function you are interested in.

	good luck,
		~c

|Thanks a lot.
