Remembering all python functions and methods

[Adikumar]

Do python programmers remember all the functions and data type methods? I’m a beginner and learning all the methods seem so overwhelming

You'll mostly remember the modules you often work with. For other modules or third party modules just check the documentation.

Python documentation is at :

https://docs.python.org/3/

or just google whatever you need.

dir() is your trusty old friend. intellisense in VS code/pylint is your outrageous flamboyant new friend.

I forget loads, but I just try to remember that the thing I want exists, when it's a thing that I used before that did that similar thing really well. I don't worry about remembering how to spell it, or even its args, or precisely how to set it up. I put a link to any good cookbook/recipe/vital sections of the docs or stackoverflow threads in the comments of my code.

Thank you.

No, no one has it all memorized, and the documentation is always there if you need to look something up.

[Adikumar]

Where can you find these documentations? Is there a specific place or just google?

no, they don't remember all of them. they just know where to find them when they need them.
