If it's something you import, what you want is the module of that
name. Searching the web for 'python os module' should bring you
straight to one of these:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

(Use the first link for Python 2.x, the second link for 3.x. The
module has the same purpose in both.)
