You can call help on anything. Here I am asking for help on something I have no clue about:

  >>> from server.db import db
  >>> help(db)
  help on Client in module google.cloud.firestore_v1beta1.client object:
class Client(google.cloud.client.ClientWithProject) | Client(project=None, credentials=None, database='(default)') | | Client for interacting with Google Cloud Firestore API. | | .. note:: | | Since the Cloud Firestore API requires the gRPC transport, no | ``_http`` argument is accepted by this class. ...

I think legends 2k means you may not know the name of a function you need to use in something you are trying to implement.

Example: Suppose you didn't know that re was what you needed for regular expression, or suppose you forgot how iterators work etc.
