Usually IPython's built-in ? is enough if there are good __doc__ strings around. E.g. <pre> In [8]: help? Type: _Helper Base Class: <class 'site._Helper'> String Form: Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object. Namespace: Interactive Docstring: Define the built-in 'help'. This is a wrapper around pydoc.help (with a twist). </pre> Hmm, I’ve never tried inspect before. Usually IPython’s built-in ? is enough if there are good __doc__ strings around. E.g.

Argh, irritating. I suppose it would be possible to rewrite the documentation from the book, probably legal, but a major pain in the ass...
