Where does one find a list of predefined properties and methods (example dict ) that on object has when created?

The documentation is excellent!
https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html
For dict
specifically, look in the section on built-in types.
In a Python shell, you can also check the built-in help()
function
>>> help(dict)
and you can get the attributes of any object using the dir()
function
>>> dir({})
['__class__', '__class_getitem__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__',
'__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__',
'__getitem__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__ior__',
'__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__or__',
'__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__reversed__', '__ror__',
'__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__',
'clear', 'copy', 'fromkeys', 'get', 'items', 'keys', 'pop', 'popitem',
'setdefault', 'update', 'values']

Thank you for the information Thomas.
