How do you manage script?

I think that in case of string methods it's much easier to use help which is built-in into Python interactive interpreter:

>>> str. # two times TAB
str.capitalize(   str.find(         str.isdecimal(    str.istitle(      str.mro()         str.rjust(        str.strip(
str.casefold(     str.format(       str.isdigit(      str.isupper(      str.partition(    str.rpartition(   str.swapcase(
str.center(       str.format_map(   str.isidentifier( str.join(         str.removeprefix( str.rsplit(       str.title(
str.count(        str.index(        str.islower(      str.ljust(        str.removesuffix( str.rstrip(       str.translate(
str.encode(       str.isalnum(      str.isnumeric(    str.lower(        str.replace(      str.split(        str.upper(
str.endswith(     str.isalpha(      str.isprintable(  str.lstrip(       str.rfind(        str.splitlines(   str.zfill(
str.expandtabs(   str.isascii(      str.isspace(      str.maketrans(    str.rindex(       str.startswith(

String method names are quite descriptive. If you find some promising name(s) you can inspect it closer. What exactly does capitalize do?

>>> help(str.capitalize)
Help on method_descriptor:

capitalize(self, /)
    Return a capitalized version of the string.

    More specifically, make the first character have upper case and the rest lower
    case.

For real snippets of code one can build wiki-like solution. One can use Jupiter notebook, Obsidian or just plain .py files in one folder. In latter case describe/comment your code snippet (what it does, what problem does it solve). Then from terminal you can grep or ack appropriate keywords, get file name(s) and open. It should not take more than 5-10 seconds.

If you have several snippets per file then ack gives row number and then you should learn whether your editor is able to open file on specific row (mine does) or you can provide ack with -C (which gives context i.e surrounding lines too) so that you don't need to open the file.
