Subject: looking up function's doc in emacs
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:12:44 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a7fd6142-79f1-4015-b9fd-62a66f009b28__26481.6182935194$1228979043$gmane$org@p2g2000prf.googlegroups.com> (raw)

in programing elisp in emacs, i can press “Ctrl+h f” to lookup the doc
for the function under cursor.

is there such facility when coding in perl, python, php?

(i'm interested in particular python. In perl, i can work around with
“perldoc -f functionName”, and in php it's php.net/functionName. Both
of which i have a elisp command with a shortcut that let me jump to
the doc)

Thanks.
