function/method help

[buran]

But you said help(request.request)

How do I know it should be requests.requests

Because it's in the docstring for requests.get:

:param \*\*kwargs: Optional arguments that request takes.

Then, I looked at the source code, to confirm my understanding.


As I said - it's not always as simple as just using help() - it may be that function/method takes arbitarry arguments - e.g. *args, **kwargs, the docstring may be poorly written, etc. You may need to look at the source code or other resources like documentation (assuming it's not genereated from doc-strings), tutorials, etc.
