Is there any site where I can see the python method signatures?












1














I'm amazed to not have come across any such site so far.



For example, when I'm using the Python's dict() function. I want to what are the different parameters that it can accept. Something like the following:



return: dict, dict(list)
return: dict, dict(dict)
return: dict, dict(dict + dict)
return: dict, dict(tupple of format = (element=value, element2=value2))


Everywhere I search on the Internet it just brings me to limited examples rather than showing me a signature.



Here on Stackoverflow.com, I came across a question that stated we cannot use dict(dict). That dict() function can only be used with a list.



Is there any site/link that shows most of the ways that dict can be used or the signature of dict in the above format?

  • @bro-grammer Negative. I'm at a level where I'm trying to understand what does what. I do have a working knowledge of the concept of dictionaries and I have used it in the past. But I'm trying to gain a high level understanding of dict. Going through 4,500 lines of code would be an overkill IMO.
