Python-Infested Island Help

Text on the meme

Day 2 on this python-infested island... today I will make a signal HELP Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object.

What it means

A stranded person on a python-infested island writes “HELP” in the sand, hoping to signal for rescue. The punchline is that Python interprets the distress signal as a programming command and displays its help prompt instead of sending help.
