I am on a mac running Spyder 3.2.4. I was previously running Spyder 2.2.5. In 2.2.5, if I have created a variable, say
x=3.14159 I could, in the python pane type: x. and would be immediately given a small pop-up window with all of the possible built-in methods for that new floating variable. I could just scroll through the list to find what I needed. Spyder 3.2.4 does not seem to have this functionality. I did go to preferences>help and ticking one or the other boxes as indicated above in this thread. After doing that, if I type: x( I get a pop-up window with the singularly unhelpful information: 'Arguments X(x)' If I type: y = math.sin(x) in the iPython console pane I get some help on that math function in the help pane: "Return the cosine of x (measured in radians)." To get the info about the variable x like I used to in Spyder 2.2.5 I must type help(x) However, typing x?? gives the unhelpful: 'Type: float String form: 3.14159' Seems like we have lost some functionality in the new Spyder 3.2.4. I want my built-in function scrollable pop-up window back!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
