Google

For standard Python modules, Typing something like "python random" into google usually gets you the info you need.

(backup available here)

Alternatively, there's more detail in the Programming:Python Wikibook. This is a work in progress, often minimal. It is useful if you want a quick overview of something (e.g., what you can do with strings, lists, and dictionaries.)

Official Python Docs

If all else fails, you can consult the official Python documentation. This is not written for beginners, but it can be quite useful. This should become more useful as the term progresses.
