The built-in input has a docstring so you're looking for this(?):

print(input.__doc__)

Calling help sure does work (python 2 and 3):

help(input)

I need the python script

That would be the one-liner with the print function having input.__doc__ as its sole argument.

num = input(enter : ) ''' hello''' print(num.doc) GNU nano 2.9.3 test.py

def function(l):

    '''this is docstring'''
    return l

l1 = input('enter name : ')

v = function(l1) print(f'{function.doc} {l1}')
