[Tutor] Python referrence

[johnf]

Hi,
In the Visual Fox Pro world there is a help file that allows look ups / 
searchs for functions, etc... just plain reference infomation.  I.e. if I 
were interested in the MAX() function I would just type Max() and get a page 
that contained a description of how to use MAX() and what it returned along 
with other similar type functions and maybe a few examples.

Is there a Python tool/document that is similar?  Just a simple way to help 
understand.
