Help Pane (formerly Object Inspector) Doesn't Work

[Josh Pruett]

Using Spyder 3.1.4 Command I after an object does not bring up results in the Help Pane and I do not get an 'insert text' mouse pointer when hovering over the Object field above the Help Pane.

I've tried closing the panel and reopening it, but as of right now do not see anyway to pull up any sort of object help in Spyder.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi, Josh.

I am having this same problem.  In Spyder 2.2.5 I could just put a dot after any variable in my python console and a list of possible methods would pop up next to it.  Now, in Spyder 3.2.4 that does not work.  

For instance, if I set 

x=3.14159 

in my S2.2.5 console, I can type

x. and immediately be giving a list of built-in methods that I can use on that float.  

This functionality seems to be gone now.  Not sure why.  The help pane that replaced the object inspector does not give such help even when I make the indicated adjustments in the preferences>help pane.
