I mean to get the man page for '[' like in the following code.
x=[1,2,3]
But help('[') doesn't seem to give the above usage.

Mutable Sequence Types
**********************
List objects support additional operations that allow in-place
modification of the object. Other mutable sequence types (when added
to the language) should also support these operations. Strings and
tuples are immutable sequence types: such objects cannot be modified
once created. The following operations are defined on mutable sequence
types (where *x* is an arbitrary object):

I then checked help('LISTLITERALS'), which gives some description that
is available from the language reference. So '[' in "x=[1,2,3]" is
considered as a language feature rather than a function or an
operator?

List displays
*************
A list display is a possibly empty series of expressions enclosed in
square brackets:
list_display ::= "[" [expression_list | list_comprehension] "]"
list_comprehension ::= expression list_for
list_for ::= "for" target_list "in" old_expression_list
[list_iter]
old_expression_list ::= old_expression [("," old_expression)+ [","]]
list_iter ::= list_for | list_if
list_if ::= "if" old_expression [list_iter]
