Welcome to Python 3.8's help utility!
If this is your first time using Python, you should definitely check out
the tutorial on the Internet at https://docs.python.org/3.8/tutorial/.
Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing
Python programs and using Python modules.  To quit this help utility and
return to the interpreter, just type "quit".
To get a list of available modules, keywords, symbols, or topics, type
"modules", "keywords", "symbols", or "topics".  Each module also comes
with a one-line summary of what it does; to list the modules whose name
or summary contain a given string such as "spam", type "modules spam".
help>

这句话：To get a list of available modules, keywords, symbols, or topics, type "modules", "keywords", "symbols", or "topics".

意思就是：

要获取可用模块、关键字、符号或主题的列表，请键入 “模块”、“关键字”、“符号”或“主题”。

modules

我们先看下modules

在help模式下输入：modules

help> modules
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

从这里可以看出还是有相当多的模块，比如我们常用的re,xlrd当然也有我们后期安装的；挑一个进去看看，有啥风景，就挑xlrd

help> xlrd
Help on package xlrd:
NAME

DESCRIPTION
    # Copyright (c) 2005-2012 Stephen John Machin, Lingfo Pty Ltd
    # This module is part of the xlrd package, which is released under a
    # BSD-style licence.

FUNCTIONS
    count_records(filename, outfile=<colorama.ansitowin32.StreamWrapper object at 0x000001D26AC13D00>)
        For debugging and analysis: summarise the file&#39;s BIFF records.
        ie: produce a sorted file of ``(record_name, count)``.
        :param filename: The path to the file to be summarised.
        :param outfile: An open file, to which the summary is written.
-- More  -- 行数:

这里面会详细介绍xlrd模块的名字，描述，模块目录、功能、版本、文件位置等信息，在最后一行看到-- More -- ，这是一个分页符，表示当前页面不能全部显示所有信息，需要部分分页操作，可以使用空格键切换下一页，也可以使用回车键看下一行，看你自己的需求进行操作，如果不想看了可输入q退出阅读模式，进入help模式，再输入q则可以继续退出help模式；

help> q
You are now leaving help and returning to the Python interpreter.
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the
interpreter, you can type "help(object)".  Executing "help('string')"
has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.
