Whatis

whatis arg

Prints the information argument which can be a Python expression.

When possible, we give information about:

• type of argument
• doc string for the argument (if a module, class, or function)
• comments around the definition of the argument (module)
• the module it was defined in
• where the argument was defined

We get this most of this information via the inspect module.
