Use pydoc to get help for all built-in functions and operators

From [email protected] on 2014-08-16T21:46:37Z

Spyder Version: 2.2.5 Python Version: 2.7.6 Qt Version : 4.8.4, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.9.6 on Windows pyflakes >=0.5.0: 0.8.1 (OK) pep8 >=0.6 : 1.5.7 (OK) IPython >=0.13 : 2.1.0 (OK) rope >=0.9.2 : 0.10.2 (OK) sphinx >=0.6.6 : 1.2.2 (OK) matplotlib >=1.0: 1.3.1 (OK) sympy >=0.7.0 : 0.7.5 (OK) pylint >=0.25 : 1.2.1 (OK)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. type 'abs?'
   1. type 'print?'
   2. type 'help(abs)'
   3. type 'help(print)'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Object Inspector shows the docstring for abs, but for print it says "No documentation available", even though help(print) works.

Help could even be shown for operators, etc. See https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/1682
