In Python, what does pydoc do?

Question

New to programming and python in general. In the book that I am studying, the author suggested that I know the purpose of Pidok.

I did a Google search and found a match (from Gnome Terminal), but that didn't make much sense to me. Does any mind simplify a little? Thanks.

Answer 1

Pydoc is a help / documentation module for Python.

Use this on your Windows terminal to understand what the function does in python:

python -m pydoc <function>

eg.

python -m pydoc raw_input

If the documentation for a particular function is very long, use "q" to exit it.

eg. when

python -m pydoc Tkinter
