Printing help docstring of all the functions in the string module: Python
I am trying to print all the functions and their help docstrings in the strings module but am not getting the desired results. Below are the things which I have tried:
r = 'A random string'
1. [help(fn) for fn in r.__dir__() if not fn.startswith('__')]
2. [help(r.fn) for fn in r.__dir__() if not fn.startswith('__')]
3. [fn.__doc__ for fn in r.__dir__() if not fn.startswith('__')]
4. [r.fn.__doc__ for fn in r.__dir__() if not fn.startswith('__')]
and a few things more. Some of them throw errors saying that r does not have attribute named 'fn'. Others just print the help documentation for the 'str' function. Is there any way I can print this for all the functions dynamically?

In python2:
for i in dir(r):
if not i.startswith('__'):
print getattr(r, i).__doc__
In python3:
for i in dir(r):
if not i.startswith('__'):
print(getattr(r, i).__doc__)
(it's basically the same, changes the print function only). You need to get the method object wth getattr in order to show its __doc__ attribute.

for fn in r.__dir__():
if not fn.startswith("__"):
print ("Function:",fn)
print (fn.__doc__)

Have you even tried running your code. There is an error in your first print statement. It should beprint("Function: %s" %fn). Furthermore, this code only prints the documentation ofstrfunction multiple times. Please check it once again and revert.

In python2:
for i in dir(r):
if not i.startswith('__'):
print getattr(r, i).__doc__
In python3:
for i in dir(r):
if not i.startswith('__'):
print(getattr(r, i).__doc__)
(it's basically the same, changes the print function only). You need to get the method object wth getattr in order to show its __doc__ attribute.
