Bugs item #925628, was opened at 2004-03-29 16:34 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=925628&group_id=5470

Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: help does not help with imported objects

Initial Comment: help(re) just says it is a wrapper for sre. To get actually help, you need to explicitly import sre as well.

re.__doc__ = re.__doc__ + sre.__doc__ helps, but still does not list information on classes or exported functions.

Specific requests, such as

help(re.subn)

do work; it is only the module-level help that is lacking when a module reexports imported objects.
