Showing all functions in NumPy and SciPy


There are several ways to find out all the functions contained in a specific module. First, we can read related manuals. Second, we can issue the following lines of code:

>>>import numpy as np
>>>dir(np)

To save space, only a few lines of code are shown in the following screenshot:

Actually, a better way is to generate an array with all of those functions as follows:

>>>x=np.array(dir(np))
>>>len(x)            # showing the length of the array
571
>>>x[200:210]        # showing 10 lines starting from 200

The following screenshot shows the output:

Similarly, to find all the functions in SciPy, we use the dir() function after we load the module as shown in the following lines of code:

>>>import scipy as sp
>>>dir(sp)  

The first part is shown in the following screenshot:
