>> What about "pydoc help"?

$ ./python -m pydoc help

Help on built-in function help:

help(...)
Invoke the built-in help system.

    help()
    The interactive help system starts on the interpreter
    console.

    help(string)
    The string is looked up as the name of a module, function, class, method,
    keyword, or documentation topic, and a  help page is printed on the
    console.   

    help(object)
    Generates a help page on the given object.

Or did you mean inside the interpreter?
