documentation

I recently downloaded IMDbpy moduele.. When I do,

import imdb
help(imdb)

i dont get the full documentation.. I have to do

im = imdb.IMDb()
help(im)

to see the available methods. I dont like this console interface. Is there any better way of reading the doc. I mean all the doc related to module imdb in one page..
