Chapters 2 and 3 of the library reference are highly recommended.
http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html

In particular:
2.1 Built-in Functions lists all globally available functions
(functions that are not part of a class)
3.6 Sequence Types gives operations on strings, lists and tuples
(which are all sequences)
3.6.1 String Methods includes endswith()
3.8 Mapping Types -- dict
etc.

Many Python functions are grouped into library modules.  You could
consider this to be the grouping by category that you want. The rest
of the library reference (after chapter 3) documents the modules.
Browse the table of contents to see what is available.

And you are welcome to ask this group if you can't find what you are
looking for.
