Welcome to Python 2.7! This is the online help utility.
If this is your first time using Python, you should definitely check out
the tutorial on the Internet at http://docs.python.org/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, or topics, type "modules",
"keywords", or "topics". Each module also comes with a one-line summary
of what it does; to list the modules whose summaries contain a given word
such as "spam", type "modules spam".

Help on unicode object:
class unicode(basestring)
| unicode(string [, encoding[, errors]]) -> object
|
| Create a new Unicode object from the given encoded string.
| encoding defaults to the current default string encoding.
| errors can be 'strict', 'replace' or 'ignore' and defaults to 'strict'.
|
| Method resolution order:
| unicode
| basestring
| object
|
| Methods defined here:
|
| __add__(...)
| x.__add__(y) <==> x+y
|
| __contains__(...)
| x.__contains__(y) <==> y in x
etc ...
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Presumably due to the fact that our raw_input wrapper that forwards the request to the qtconsole returns unicode instead of a bytestring, like the builtin one. We should probably fix this.
This is precisely the difference between doing help('topics') and help(u'topics').
