{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"behavior with the help function","articleBody":"I like the idea of type hint provided by this module, and I would like to use it more often but what stop me for doing so is the lost of information in the automatically generate documentation for the function I annotate using this module, take this for example\n\n```\nfrom typing import Iterator\ndef fib() -\u003e Iterator[int]:\n    \"\"\"A generator of blah blah\"\"\"\n    ...\n```\n\nwhen calling `help` in that function (or the little hint that pop up in the idle) I get the following\n\n```\n\u003e\u003e\u003e help(fib)\nHelp on function fib in module __main__:\n\nfib() -\u003e typing.Iterator\n    A generator of blah blah\n\n\u003e\u003e\u003e \n```\n\nas you can see I lost information about `fib` as I clearly annotate it a iterator of int but that is not reflected in the help in any way as all the internal structure/details that I put in the annotations are lost. The same apply for all the others members of typing\n\nSo I would like to get from the above example the following output\n\n```\n\u003e\u003e\u003e help(fib)\nHelp on function fib in module __main__:\n\nfib() -\u003e Iterator[int]\n    A generator of blah blah\n\n\u003e\u003e\u003e \n```\n\nwhich is more helpful and with just a glance I know what I am getting or need from/for the function.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/copperfield42","@type":"Person","name":"copperfield42"},"datePublished":"2016-09-06T19:58:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/279/typing/issues/279"}
