Again, Python's introspection capabilities to the rescue:

    % pydoct datetime
    Help on module datetime:

    NAME
        datetime - Fast implementation of the datetime type.
    ...
        class datetime(date)
         |  datetime(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[,tzinfo]]]]])
         ...
         |  strftime(...)
         |      format -> strftime() style string.
