Documentation

=============

|
Official Documentation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The official Python Language and Library documentation can be found here:
|
|
|
|
- `Python 2.x <https://docs.python.org/2/>`_
|
|
- `Python 3.x <https://docs.python.org/3/>`_
|
|

|
Read the Docs
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Read the Docs is a popular community project that hosts documentation
|
|
for open source software. It holds documentation for many Python modules,
|
|
both popular and exotic.

pydoc
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
:program:`pydoc` is a utility that is installed when you install Python.
|
|
It allows you to quickly retrieve and search for documentation from your
|
|
shell. For example, if you needed a quick refresher on the
|
|
:mod:`time` module, pulling up documentation would be as simple as
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pydoc time
|
|
|
|
The above command is essentially equivalent to opening the Python REPL
|
|
and running
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> help(time)
|
