I am trying to get documentation of some objects by pressing cmd+I in spyder but it gives a one line definition of the object instead of a detailed one. I am using python 3.5 and spyder 3.1.4. For e.g. documentation for OLS object looks like enter image description here

where it should have been like enter image description here

Edit: It doesn't happen with all of the class objects but intermittently with some not sure which ones. I currently have the following dependencies:

This is because OLS uses doc rather than the "triple quote" docstring ("""...""") for the class definition? Anytime it uses doc, trying to get the documentation from Cmd+I brings the problem. For instance:

from statsmodels.regression.linear_model import OLS OLS() # Cmd + I on this --> problem (OLS uses doc) OLS.score() # Cmd + I on this --> no problem (OLS.score uses triple quote docstring) From the console OLS? brings the full documentation though. here
