How Do I Perform Introspection on an Object in Python 2.x?

I'm using Python 2.x and I have an object I'm summoning from the aether; the documentation on it is not particularly clear. I would like to be able to get a list of properties for that object and the type of each property.

Similarly, I'd like to get a list of methods for that object, as well, plus any other information I could find on that method, such as number of arguments and their respective types.

I have a feeling that I am simply missing the correct jargon in my Google searches. Not that I want to derail with specifics, but it's Active Directory, so that's always fun.
