This is deliberate - after discussion on the mailing list, we decided
that the feature was confusing for people learning programming, so it
was turned off by default. You can still enable it - search for autocall
in ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py . If that file doesn't
exist, run "ipython profile create" in a terminal first.

Note that you can get the docstring for any object in IPython with a
question mark: "time?"

** Changed in: ipython (Ubuntu)
