This is looking for L.method, not L.append, L.count, etc..  you want
to use getattr first.

>>> L = []
>>> for method in dir(L):
...    print getattr(L, method).__doc__
...
L.append(object) -- append object to end
L.count(value) -> integer -- return number of occurrences of value
L.extend(list) -- extend list by appending list elements
#(and so on)
