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

For code that you do not wish to parse, I recommend the AST-based approach of @csl above.

For everything else, the inspect module is correct:

import inspect

import  as module

functions = inspect.getmembers(module, inspect.isfunction)

This gives a list of 2-tuples in the form [(, ), ...].

The simple answer above is hinted at in various responses and comments, but not called out explicitly.
