Not a bad idea.

Start up a python interpreter and type:
help('string.split')
To see the whole string module:
help('string')
It also work directly on module and function objects:
import string
help(string)
Finally, the string module is being slowly phased out. You can use the
string constructor type instead (in Python 2.2 and later):
help(str.split)
help(str)
etc...
