python如何查看函数功能，类似于linux下的man

[[email protected] python]# python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 17 2014, 18:11:42)
[GCC 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-16)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> help(socket.gethostname)
Help on built-in function gethostname in module _socket:

gethostname(...)
    gethostname() -> string

    Return the current host name.

>>> help(socket.gethostbyname)
Help on built-in function gethostbyname in module _socket:

gethostbyname(...)
    gethostbyname(host) -> address

    Return the IP address (a string of the form '255.255.255.255') for a host.

>>> 

说明：

import socket：导入python提供的一个核心网络库

help(socket.gethostname)：查看帮助信息

gethostname：没有参数，返回所在主机或本地主机的名字

gethostbyname:接收一个参数hostname，返回对应的IP
