Important
This documentation covers IPython versions 6.0 and higher. Beginning with version 6.0, IPython stopped supporting compatibility with Python versions lower than 3.3 including all versions of Python 2.7.
If you are looking for an IPython version compatible with Python 2.7, please use the IPython 5.x LTS release and refer to its documentation (LTS is the long term support release).
Development version¶
This document describes in-flight development work.

Need to be updated:
Show pinfo information in ipdb using “?” and “??”¶
In IPDB, it is now possible to show the information about an object using “?” and “??”, in much the same way it can be done when using the IPython prompt:
ipdb> partial?
Init signature: partial(self, /, *args, **kwargs)
Docstring:
partial(func, *args, **keywords) - new function with partial application
of the given arguments and keywords.
File: ~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/functools.py
Type: type
Subclasses:
Previously, “pinfo” or “pinfo2” command had to be used for this purpose.
As a reminder, IPython master has diverged from the 7.x branch, thus master may have more feature and API changes.
