Comment(by wjp):
I think this patch is not the right way to approach this. Maybe replacing
the {{{write}}} in {{{out.write(header('Source:\n')+source.rstrip())}}} by
{{{writeln}}} is a cleaner approach. I'd feel a lot more confident about
changing that if I would understand why some of the writes in the
{{{pinfo}}} function use {{{write}}} while others use {{{writeln}}},
though...
Another thing is that this particular class docstring "<attribute
'__doc__' of 'builtin_function_or_method' objects>" looks like a good
candidate for inclusion in the "Skip Python's auto-generated docstring"
list in that function, because it doesn't seem to add much (if any) useful
information.
(That seems to be caused by it being in a Cython class, which is probably
why IPython doesn't already list it.)
