Currently, IDLE just writes the entire help message into the shell. If auto-squeezing is enabled, then long help messages are automatically squeezed, following which the help text can be viewed in a text viewer or expanded inline. This is still not great UX. I propose to simply have help(object) open a text viewer with the help text. There's actually an old (2007) comment in Lib\idlelib\pyshell.py by KBK that this should be done. See related discussion in issue #35855. |
