I tried the following for retrieving spatial reference of a layer but can't make it work! Please help!!

>>> import arcpy
>>> fc = "C:/GIS222(Python)/Lab4/NYState.shp"
>>> sr = arcpy.Describe(fc).

In the 3rd line above nothing is showing up in auto completion after arcpy.Describe(fc).
I was expecting Spatial Reference after the period
Am I doing anything wrong?

Correct Answer
try, where inFC is the path to disk of a featureclass, 
desc = arcpy.Describe
SR = desc(inFC).spatialReference
