 I haven't tried it with the new string type but you can look up the
 methods bye the __methods__ attribute.

>>> a=[1,2]
>>> a.__methods__
['append', 'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove',
'reverse', 'sort']
>>> b={1:''}
>>> b.__methods__
['clear', 'copy', 'get', 'has_key', 'items', 'keys', 'update', 'values']
