do you know about the utility called pydoc? Type it at a command line to learn more.
This only works if a wrapper has been installed in a directory on the system path. 'python -m pydoc' should always work.
It displays information like help does in a python environment, but you can also redirect it to a file
The other way around: help uses pydoc, but help does not expose all of pydoc's options.
