Chapter 2 of the Library Reference documents built-in functions (such as 
len() and sort()) and built-in types (such as string, list, dict). It is 
well worth reading and keeping handy as a reference.

Most library modules are pretty well documented in the Library Reference 
as well. Tkinter is a bit of an exception. For Tkinter look here:
