Nteract: IPython help broken

Created on 27 Jul 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: nteract/nteract

On win64, running master from Jul 25 the IPython help doesn't seem to be working .

e.g. neither function? nor ?function bring up the help for the function. help(function) does however seem to work.

馃槩 Yeah I've been meaning to dig back into this one. For now I've resorted to help(obj). I'll prioritize this for the next release.

This is still the case in the latest 0.3.2. Just pinging this issue to make sure it hasn't been forgotten...

By-and-large I find nteract pretty slick! ...but I'm hesitant to recommend it to less experienced colleagues if the standard ? help functionality doesn't work - that's pretty important for new users.

This is not only win issue, also broken for mac

Fixed in https://github.com/nteract/nteract/pull/1965, we'll get this shipped out within the next day or so.
