Hi Robert,
help() is just a regular function that must be called with correct
Python syntax and the import keyword is not allowed in an argument list.
The correct syntax is:
help('import')
Cheers,
Brian

i'm sure there's a painfully obvious answer to this, but is there a
reason i can't do:
help(import)
File "<stdin>", line 1
help(import)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
on the other hand, i can certainly go into "help()" and type
"import" to get that help. it seems counter-intuitive to have the
first variation fail but the second succeed.
what is the rule for this in python3?
