如果你需要某个Python函数或语句的快速信息帮助,那么你可以使用内建的help功能。尤其在你使用带提示符的命令行的时候,它十分有用。比如,运行help(str)——这会显示str类的帮助。str类用于保存你的程序使用的各种文本(字符串)。类将在后面面向对象编程的章节详细解释。按q退出帮助。
类似地,你可以获取Python中几乎所有东西的信息。使用help()去学习更多关于help本身的东西!
help('print')
你应该注意到我特意在“print”上使用了引号,那样Python就可以理解我是希望获取关于“print”的帮助而不是想要它打印东西

Question:
I have just installed Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 on my Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit).However if I open a Python 2.7 shell (python from a terminal) when I type help('print') I get the following message:
no documentation found for 'print'
How can I get to use the documentation in Python 2.7 as well?
Answer:
This looks like a bug of Python 2 as something like help("dir") works properly. It probably does not work because print is a special keyword, unlike Python 3. Stick to Python 3 or run the following command instead of help("print"):help("__builtin__.print")
