Is there a help or man function, like in unix-like OS, that we can use to describe any function of python?

You can use docstrings which are there for most things.

import sys
print sys.__doc__

There is a Windows help file called Pythlp.chm that I use. You can 
download from the python webside. It has an index and you can seach for 
keywords.
