Hello, I'm creating a notepad++ plugin which hosts an embedded python interpreter by using cffi to build the dll. So far so good. One obstacle I've found is that I'm not able to use exec(help(object)) in order to get the wanted info from the object.
The error I get is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<init code for 'Python3Script'>", line 131, in run_code File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\_sitebuiltins.py", line 103, in __call__ return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1895, in __call__ self.help(request) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1954, in help else: doc(request, 'Help on %s:', output=self._output) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1674, in doc pager(render_doc(thing, title, forceload)) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1451, in pager pager(text) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1576, in plainpager sys.stdout.write(plain(_escape_stdout(text))) File "D:\...\Python\Python37_64\Lib\pydoc.py", line 1528, in _escape_stdout return text.encode(encoding, 'backslashreplace').decode(encoding) TypeError: encode() argument 1 must be str, not method If I encase the object with quotes then I do get the info that no documentation is found for that object. 1. It doesn't feel right to encase the object with quotes. I don't have to do this using the standard python interpreter shell. What did I miss? 2. If it is needed to use the encased way, why don't it show the help info? The object class contains the module, class and functions doc strings, what did I miss here?
