Few days back I came up with idea to write a simple tool if a coder forget the name of a function or method. Right now I am not very old, 8 months back I got back into the profile of programming after joining MPC. Even back when I didnt worked with MPC I used to write long codes and made tools for maya, eyeon fusion. However, Here at MPC i got myself hooked to writing tools for Nuke and nuke 2d pipeline.
Out of the experience of this few 8 months, I have tried my best to write a good code. This tool is kind of a warmup in the weekend I did to exercise and practice some neat python code. At the moment I havent written tests but I have made a GUI as well as terminal version of this tool.

Here is a screenshot below.
This tool allows you to enter the module or package name and the first few letters that comes to your mind you think that might be what you are looking for.
You can also add a module/package to sys.path if it is not in default list of sys.path.
Right now I havent written test for it, I had some more functionality pending that I want to add like adding custom paths to history so user does not have to browse each and everytime, also auto complition of the modules installed in python lib.
Here is a link to code on github: https://github.com/sanfx/searchMethod
git clone https://github.com/sanfx/searchMethod.git
make sure both those projects are saved to location that is in sys.path by default.
and edit a path in python/searchMethod.py that is hardcoded path to listFilter.
I will fix that soonish.
Usage:
run the script "searchMethod" from scripts/searchMethod in terminal or by double clicking in Finder.

Inside Look in : enter module or package name, while you type autocompletion will attempt to look for module you might be going to look inside and then in the prefix enter starting letter you can think of.
if found result will be shown below, and of the selected method you can look for help on that method on the bottom right.
Feel free to branch/ fork and add some comments/suggestions.
I hope this can be of any use to you.
