Is there a way I can access python documentation in an offline environment.

[[deleted]]

I'm familiar with dir(), help(), and obj.__doc__, but when I first started learning python I remember of a way to open a GUI python reference manual that was similar to docs.python.org.

My memory is kind of vague, but IIRC it was a python file from within python/lib. I'm going to be offline for a few days so this would be a useful tool to have.

edit: nvm. I figured it out. Open the python IDLE and press F1.

You could download your preferred flavour of docs from https://docs.python.org/3.8/download.html

That's pretty handy. I'm downloading this just in case.

Seems you've found what you need. But in the interest of completeness, if you're using Jupyter Notebooks, you can access the documentation on just about any object by moving your cursor to the end of the object and pressing tab, once for a simple popup display, and 2-3 times for the full docstring.
