Scipy distribution - Is there a method in Scipy that returns probability (not the probability density) at point?

It seems like even if distributions are continuous, I only have an access to the pdf method. However, I need the probability itself, say in [2, 2.0001]. Is there any method that I can call for a point probability? According to the document https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.beta.html, it doesn't seem like to have one.

How do you get the probability at one point, in the most economic way?

You can use the cdf method.

So the probability of an event occuring in some interval [a,b] is just cdf(b)-cdf(a).
