I understand that 'help' works with modules that I have imported. But if I've just written a script called main.py (which contains get_value()) I don't think I can 'import' that. So how would I see the docstrings in main.py? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
