It does seem as though IPython could be a bit more clever about this.
I disagree. I _like_ that IPython is only reporting on the current
state of the interpreter and not trying to second guess what I meant.
If the user asks for documentation on xyz via "?xyz" and xyz is not
defined, then I'd like to see IPython check for a module named "xyz" and
if it exists, extract and display the docstring.
How would you recommend IPython distinguish between which "xyz" you
meant: the one in site-packages, the one in some package on the python
path, or the one in the folder you're running IPython from?
The "xyz" that would be imported by executing "import xyz", I'd say.
The standard interpreter does that:
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more in
formation.
