Subject: Re: Does ruby have a similar functions to the Python dir and help functions?

Ruby can tell you the methods: obj.methods (there's also
#public_methods, #instance_methods, #private_methods, etc.). Ruby can
tell you the instance variables (#instance_variables).

Ruby can't tell you the documentation; there's no docstring like there
is in Python. There are some enhancements to irb available that give
an ri command from within irb.
