For example, if I need to know something about a string, I can type string within the help> command line, and
then I can read about the many ways strings are used in Python. Perhaps a simpler way to find information is to look
up a topic by typing topics . The command prints out a list of available topics, including STRINGS . Typing STRINGS
presents an easy-to-understand article about strings in Python. Typing the letter q will exit the article, and typing
<CTRL-D> will exit the help command line:
help> topics
Here is a list of available topics. Enter any topic name to get more help.

String literals
***************
String literals are described by the following lexical definitions:
stringliteral ::= [stringprefix](shortstring | longstring)
stringprefix ::= "r" | "u" | "ur" | "R" | "U" | "UR" | "Ur" | "uR"
shortstring ::= "'" shortstringitem* "'" | '"' shortstringitem* '"'
...
:q
help> <CTRL-D>
You are now leaving help and returning to the Python interpreter.
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the
interpreter, you can type "help(object)". Executing "help('string')"
has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.
