The entry point to Python reference docs

Project description

pyref.dev

pyref.dev is a fast, convenient way to access Python reference docs.

PyPI Python veresions supported License

It allows you to quickly jump to the official documentation for Python standard library modules and popular packages by using a simple URL pattern:

https://pyref.dev/<fully.qualified.symbol.name>

You can also search for symbols using:

https://pyref.dev/is?symbol=<SYMBOL>

And if you are feeling lucky, ask it to redirect to the first result:

https://pyref.dev/is?lucky=true&symbol=<SYMBOL>

Lastly, you can pip install pyrefdev and run the pyrefdev CLI tool.

Examples

Supported packages

See pyref.dev for the list of supported packages.

Case sensitivity

For most of the cases, they are case-insensitive. However, for symbols like typing.final and typing.Final, you need to access them with the correct case.
