How to list all functions in a Python module?

Question

I have a python module installed on my system and I\'d like to be able to see what functions/classes/methods are available in it.

I want to call the doc function

Answer 1

Once you've imported the module, you can just do:

help(modulename)

... To get the docs on all the functions at once, interactively. Or you can use:

dir(modulename)

... To simply list the names of all the functions and variables defined in the module.
