Is there a way to check what a function or a method does inside of python itself similar to the help function in Matlab. I want to get the definition of the function without having to Google it.
The help() function gives you help on almost everything but if your searching for something (like a module to use) then type help('modules') and it will search for available modules.
Then if you need to find information about a module load it and type dir(module_name) to see the methods that are defined in the module.
