前言
前面都是点点滴滴的介绍selenium的一些api使用方法，那么selenium的api到底有多少呢？本篇就叫大家如何去查看selenium api，不求人，无需伸手找人要，在自己电脑就有。
pydoc是Python自带的模块，主要用于从python模块中自动生成文档，这些文档可以基于文本呈现的、也可以生成WEB 页面的，还可以在服务器上以浏览器的方式呈现！
一、pydoc
1.到底什么是pydoc? ,这个是准确的解释：Documentation generator and online help system. pydoc是Python自带的模块，主要用于从python模块中自动生成文档，这些文档可以基于文本呈现的、也可以生成WEB 页面的，还可以在服务器上以浏览器的方式呈现！简而言之，就是帮你从代码和注释自动生成文档的工具。
2.举个栗子，我需要查看python里面open函数的功能和语法，打开cmd,输入:python -m pydoc open
3.-m参数：python以脚本方法运行模块
>>python -m pydoc open
那么问题来了，这个是已经知道有这个函数，去查看它的功能，selenium里面不知道到底有多少个函数或方法，那如何查看呢？
二、启动server
1.打开cmd命令行，输入：python -m pydoc -p 6666
2.-p参数：这个表示在本机上启动服务
3.6666参数：这个是服务端口号，随意设置
打开后，界面会出现一个地址：http://localhost:6666/,在浏览器直接打开
三、浏览器查看文档
1.在浏览器输入：http://localhost:6666/
2.Built-in Moudles ：这个是python自带的模块
四、webdriver API
1.找到这个路径：python2.7libsite-packages，点开selenium
2.打开的selenium>webdriver>firefox>webdriver,最终路径：http://localhost:6666/selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriver.html
3.最终看到的这些就是selenium的webdriver API帮助文档啦
