Public bug reported:
When typing:
help blah
ipython has always automatically added the parentheses to convert that wrong
syntax into the correct syntax:
help(blah)
However, after the upgrade to 12.04 Precise, this is no longer the case:
In [3]: help time
File "<ipython-input-3-07a3a23cdd0e>", line 1
help time
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
