reflection - 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 help function on each one. In Ruby I can do something like ClassName.methods to get a list of all the methods available on that class. Is there something similar in Python?

eg. something like:

from somemodule import foo
print(foo.methods)  # or whatever is the correct method to call

Answer 1

You can use dir(module) to see all available methods/attributes. Also check out PyDocs.
