The official Python documentation is at: http://docs.python.org/
While programing in Python, if you happen to not have online access or Python manual, one can lookup syntax or info for keywords or modules within Python.
In the command line, type: “python”, then “help()”.
From there one can type any keyword or module name to find out the syntax or info Within a help page, type “f” to page down, “b” to page up, “q” to exit.
On the command line, type “perldoc perl” to get a list of topics.
use “perldoc -f functionName” for specific function. Example: “perldoc -f printf”.
For keywords like if, while, for ..., type “perldoc perlop”. For operators like “== + % x ++ =~ << m//”, type “perldoc perlsyn”.
For a documentation on a particular module, use the module's name. Example: “perldoc Data::Dumper”.
