dir() is typically less useful than help(), particularly when you're starting out, since the latter's presentation is better and includes the docstrings. Once you know you're going to be using a module a lot (for example, the datetime module), it's worth going to Python's library reference and spending a few minutes reading the relevant section. You'll likely pick up the overall picture a bit more in that fashion than when just browsing the method names.
