I would like to propose that we add the -o flag to this line in CMakeLists.txt:
SET(SIP_EXTRA_OPTIONS ${PYQT4_SIP_FLAGS} -o)
This tells sip to automatically generate docstrings for all classes and
methods. These in turn can be accessed from Python.
When using the IPython plugin this provides valuable information when
constructing a statement.
I have tested this on Linux (Ubuntu) and OS X and it works fine.
The -o flag was added to sip at 4.10. Currently the INSTALL instructions
specify sip 4.8 as the minimum version so that would have to be changed.
Can someone test this on the Windows build? Any downsides to adding the flag?
