Notepad++ and Python docstrings

1

How do you bring up the Python document string (as a tool tip?) for a function or class when using Notepad++ as a code editor? Is this possible? I asked this question on Stack Overflow, and a user suggested it should just work, but it doesn't work for me. The files are .py files. Python is the primary language. I have NppExec installed.

I can delete the other one - does this question belong here? – DanGoodrick – 2019-04-06T19:44:40.227

Turning on in Notepad++ the auto completion feature is done in the menu option of
Settings > Preferences > Auto-Completion.

You may also turn it off and use instead the manual Ctrl+Enter for your code, or Ctrl+Space for language.

If the standard auto-completion is not enough, an alternative plugin is available from 3P : Progress Programmers Pal.
