I've just started learning Python and would like to know if there is a searchable list of Python (3.1) functions available online, like there is for PHP (php.net)?
Thanks.

If you want search, I usually just use a search engine with
python <term>

The official documentation for Python has been good for a while now, and I refer to it frequently.

But its not *searchable*. I searched for "replace" (method) and it had no results to display.

The search area is very AJAXy, and I found dozens of results for "replace" -- one of them `str.replace`, which is what you're after. Do you have Javascript turned off in your browser?

Hmm..nope, I'm running stock Safari 4, without any plugins. Strange, let me try again.

Nope, no results still.

@Nimbuz: Get an upgrade to Safari. My Safari (4.0.3, 5531.9) works perfectly. "replace" gets a page with 137 results.

If you mean built-in functions, they're documented here. Of course, there are many more in other modules of the standard library, and more still in the package index (over 8000 packages are there now, though not all are compatible with python 3) -- and no doubt millions more elsewhere, but, one's gotta draw a line somewhere;-)
