Context: I will be showing the way around to some experienced programmers new to python.
Do >>> help() Among other things I get: | Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing | Python programs and using Python modules. To quit this help utility and | return to the interpreter, just type "quit". However I find it returns to the normal REPL with just a return; no quit. I would have expected a special help REPL to keep running till I give quit. What gives? Also I tried >>> help(help) This shows the docstring for class _Helper(builtins.object) However if I do this >>> from pydoc import help >>> help(help) I get more useful help. Seems the wrong way round... Above is true for 2.7 and 3.4. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
