Depends how off line you are.
If you still have the python interpreter then just using dir() and 
help() should be all you need.

I couldn't recall how partition worked so I just typed 
help(''.partition) at the >>> prompt.

Most documentation you need is available that way, and if in doubt try 
it out at the prompt!

But if you mean offline as in only paper and pencil then a book is the 
best bet and Beazley is good. I use him and Python in a Nutshell for my 
paper-only moments.
