You may want to install and use "see", a human-friendly replacement of
dir()
So instead of this mess:
py> dir(pencil_case)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__',
'__delitem__', '
__delslice__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__',
'__get
item__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__iadd__',
'__imul__', '
__init__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mul__',
'__ne__
', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__',
'__reversed__',
'__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__setslice__',
'__str__', 'a
ppend', 'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove',
'reverse'
, 'sort']
you get this instead:
py> see(pencil_case)
[] in + +=
* *=
< <= == !=
> >=
hash() help() iter() len() repr()
reversed()
str() .append() .count() .extend() .index()
.insert() .pop() .remove() .reverse() .sort()
For us mere mortals, it's a lot more readable.
"see" is available at http://github.com/inky/see
