How can i take a python command as input from a user and give its function as output [closed]

I wanted to let the user enter a python command, and then wanted to display the function of the command, so i used:

x = input("Enter the python command: ")
print(x.__doc__)

But every time i run it i get only one output and that is it gives string function. Can anybody suggest a better alternative so that the output is not based on string?

when i fill myself the output is just what i wanted,

print(abs.__doc__)

the above given code gives the function of abs, what i wanted but if i entered abs() that got stored in x, then it’s not able to give desired output,as it is taken as some string. I need to know how can i use a user entered command and give it’s syntax and description in output.

Answer

input() will return a string so no matter what the user enters it will always show you the string documentation. you can use x=eval(input()) but use it with caution
