Anybody know the answer to the question asking how to get help from the method center that belongs to a string?

I've already tried:

help(str)

help(str.method_center)

dir(str.method center)

Hi David, help(str.center) should do the trick. I see you passed the word "method" to the help function. The method referred in the question is "center" – simply identified as "center", and not "method center". Just like the function you called to get help is identified as help, and not "function help()".
