Hello everyone, I started using again spyder after a long interval of using the ipython notebook, and I found that the improvement are incredible since the last time I used it. The cell block feature (not sure if it is new or I simply didn't noticed it at first) is especially nice, and is one of the things that persuaded me to insert spyder again in my workflow.
The only thing that I find missing is the possibility of the object inspector to understand that a string can be a docstring even outside the definition of a class or a function. A prime example is the documentation of modules, that right now is not visualized correctly (or at least I didn't found how to visualize it properly). One thought lead to another, and I started wondering how hard would it be for the object inspector to understand a docstring for each cell block. That would allow to express the comments for each code in a very expressive way, that could compete with the expressivity of an ipython notebook, while maintaining a normal plain format (the friction of doing version control with a notebook is what lead me to try again spyder in the first place). In short, given a code as: #%% """ some very cool docstring in here """ myvariable = 42 the object inspector could recognize the block documentation as valid and show it properly. Would it be possible to include also images? in the restructured text is formally possible, but I couldn't manage to do it, and I'm not sure if it's a limit of the inspector or of my ability. I tried to take a look at the inspector to understand what was going on and implement it myself, but I got lost and gave up... thank you very much for your work, I hope to be able to contribute soon with something!
