How to know about the methods present inside a python module?

Question

I am new to python, i have a confusion about when we import a module, e.g. import os or any other module, how to know the available methods in each of the module i have imported? Please help.

Or just [RTFM](https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html). – jonrsharpe Jan 12 '15 at 07:50 — jonrsharpe, Jan 12 '15 at 07:50

import(os)
help(os)

That will give you a human-readable help page. Or to get just the function and class names:

dir(os)
