Hey all, I'm trying to recreate the 'help' on various modules that are available. So far, I have a bit of code and it seems to be working for the most part. I can get the modules available but I also want to be able to print the information that is available for each module.
Current output: ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', ... 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill'] str(object) -> string Return a nice string representation of the object. If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object. Desired result: ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', ... 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill'] atof(s): Return the floating point number represented by the st atof(s) -> float I'm close (I think) but I just can figure out how to grab that part of the documentation. Any advice? Code: import os import string import inspect def getDirName(): modList = [] manPage = 'string' #used as a place holder for now... cwd = dir(manPage) print cwd info = inspect.getdoc(cwd[35]) print info return if __name__ == '__main__': getDirName()
