Python Help Signal

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.

A stranded person on a snake-infested island writes “HELP” in the sand, but Python responds with its built-in help() documentation instead of rescuing them. The joke plays on the programming function help() and the desperate survival signal, making it useful as a reaction to confusing code or a programmer asking for help.
