What version are you using on Windows ? Version 2.0.6 is outdated, the focus today is on the 2.1 series which features a lot of improvement. I use version 2.1.9 available in Ubuntu 12.04 and this feature is working.
I would suggest you to upgrade to a version of Ubuntu featuring Spyder 2.1.x. Another solution would be to uninstall the outdated version and install the latest version from source (see official website for details and tutorials). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780272 Title: spyder - object inspector does not automatically show documentation while calling a function To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spyder/+bug/780272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
