py> help(type)
Help on class type in module __builtin__:

class type(object)
  |  type(object) -> the object's type
  |  type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type
...
  |  mro(...)
  |      mro() -> list
  |      return a type's method resolution order
...

Or even:

py> help(type.mro)
Help on method_descriptor:

mro(...)
     mro() -> list
     return a type's method resolution order

But yeah, I couldn't find it in the docs either.  Please file a 
documentation feature request:
