Where can i find a list of functions available under each module?

Answer 1

I think you can just help("module") for a doc dump of the applicable module.

>>> help("math")

...or just a method:

>>> help("math.trunc")

math.trunc = trunc(...)     ... Truncates x to the nearest ...

Answer 2

You could use the 'inspect' module. See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/139180/listing-all-functions-in-a-JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-module

Answer 3

listing all functions and all classes with dir(module)

Answer 4

With credit to @Bart Genuit, here's a post for getting at docstrings with effects:

help(my_func) - typical

my_func.__doc__ - unprocessed docstring

inspect.getdoc(obj) - normalizes tabs / removes common spaces using cleandoc, and will retrieve docs from the object hierarchy (parents) if not set at children.

Answer 5

python.org has documentation for all modules in the standard lib

Answer 6

@Haydar Tekeli

dir() "attempts to produce the most relevant, rather than complete, information"

http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#dir

For modules this is a list of attributes.
