How do you use `help` when write your code

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi Pythonistas

I often heard people mention use help(ob) as a way of documentation
look up. Personally I seldom/never do that. My normal workflow is use
ipython, obj? or obj?? for quick look up or use docs.python.org for a
detailed read.


Do you use `help`? How does it integrate into your workflow?

Or instead, what similar tools do you use?


Regards.
