Or, to keep things simple, what class is "help" an instance of, since 
what is just another identifier, as the id function shows:

 >>> what = __builtins__.__dict__['help']
 >>> what
Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object.
 >>> type(what)
<type 'instance'>
 >>> id(what)
7654824
 >>> id(help)
7654824
 >>>
