ptpython docstring - metulburr - Nov-16-2017
It states here although i dont see it in their github list of features that ptpython allows to show documentation of such given method while typing it out. However i am unable to view the doc at all this way. I get the other features, multi line editing, autocomplete, etc. But i cant figure out why the docs dont work. I have set
show docstring setting to on but nothing shows still.

I have used ptpython a lot on both Windows and Linux,and not had this problem.
Example Linux Mint 18.1, Python 3.6,with new update of ptpython.

I think i opened a new session. Didnt realize the show docstrings resets back to off each time.
