Documentation¶
Read the Docs¶
Read the Docs is a popular community project that hosts documentation for open source software. It holds documentation for many Python modules, both popular and exotic.
pydoc¶
pydoc is a utility that is installed when you install Python.
It allows you to quickly retrieve and search for documentation from your
shell. For example, if you needed a quick refresher on the
time module, pulling up documentation would be as simple as:
$ pydoc time
The above command is essentially equivalent to opening the Python REPL and running:
>>> help(time)
