PYTHON IS CRAP

  Yeah, but that's still less convenient than just do something like:
  
  	> pyman string.split
  
  (e.g., a direct lookup on precisely the API entry you are interested
  in, in just the way it gets used by the application)

In most (?) cases doc strings do just that:

>>> print string.split.__doc__
split(str [,sep [,maxsplit]]) -> list of strings
splitfields(str [,sep [,maxsplit]]) -> list of strings
 
Return a list of the words in the string s, using sep as the
delimiter string.  If maxsplit is nonzero, splits into at most
maxsplit words If sep is not specified, any whitespace string
is a separator.  Maxsplit defaults to 0.
 
(split and splitfields are synonymous)
