I've started using Python to script Maya for a school projet but i'm facing a problem with the documentation : I can't find anywhere a complete documentation of all the modules classes and function of the Maya API.

I've already foun the Python-style documentation for PyMEL module, but where is the reste of it ? E.g, the maya.cmds module ?

Thanks.

Open the maya help inside of Maya (the F1 key in windows) or go to the online documentation (that link goes to the maya 2015 docs, your copy of Maya should have the right URL for your version). The commands are documented under Python Commands in the Technical Documentation chapter; the python API is documented in Maya Developer Help under Maya Python API.
