> requests.get?

I was using Python for 8 years and IPython for somewhat 5 years if my memory serves me right but today I have learned that you can invoke help on an object by appending '?'. I guess I might delve into IPython documentation sometime.

Thank you for lengthy and detailed explanation.

Ipython is amazing. "requests.get??" will show you the source (works on modules too). "%pdb on" is another fave to drop straight into the debugger with uncaught exceptions.
