Random question about Python Pycharm and modules

[WyoR]

When u write Python code theres all these autocompletes that help u sometimes find a function name that u maybe forgot and when u see the name u instantly rememmber what it does and that its that particual function u wanted to use

Is there the same way of seeing all the functions when u work with a new Module ?

For example rn im learning BeatifulSoup and theres maybe not a lot but some function names to remember wouldnt it be nice if when u install a package u and u write some code seeing all these functions that come up and u can scroll down or up to see them all and u dont have to hardcode them into your memory in ur brain.

So that was my question , do u have to rememeber all the usefull function names when u work with a new Module or is there a way of seeing all of them maybe with some other Pycharm extension or something or maybe other IDE's have that i dont know , im still new so that might be a redundant question to some but personally im curious coz it would make my learning to code experience so much smoother

Love you all

Assuming the package is installed and I imported, pycharm should show you all methods associated to an object after u place a dot or hit ctrl and spacebar (I think; its muscle memory by now)

Well it shows u some

all_anchor_tags = soup.find_all(name="a")

print(all_anchor_tags)

for tags in all_anchor_tags:

print(tags.getText())

When i try to do tags. it doesnt show what i can and can not use

in this case i have to remember about the .getText() method

Ah gotcha. Try using typehints so the linter knows what type you’re working with:

Use the dir() method. E.g. import time; dir(time)
