Maybe just this:
func = getattr(mod, moduleFunc)
You can also temporarily redirect stdout to a string buffer (StringIO) and
just run the built-in 'help' function:
from cStringIO import StringIO
t = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = h = StringIO()
try:
help(func)
finally:
sys.stdout = t
helpStr = h.getvalue()
