You're welcome, I'm glad to help. As for the “hiding”, the answer is in
the Python documentation itself.

Never feel embarrassed of not knowing something; we should all be active

Searching in the official documentation, and in archives of community
forums, is an essential skill to learn for a programmer. I wish you good
fortune in improving that skill :-)
