Show complete documentation in vscode

I have the same problem. The only solution I found is to use "?" at the end of the function like,

np.random.randint? run

Just started using the Docs View extension, and it is awesome!

It puts the documentation you usually see on hover in the side panel. (I learned about it from this tweet)

Works in the notebook view, too!

I have recently been trying to get to use VSCode with Jupyter Notebooks as well and for me (on macOS, I assume it would be the same for Windows) all I have to do is hover the mouse on top of the method I wanna get the documentation for and wait a little bit, and it'll pop up.

Please take a look at the image below (since this is my first answer I can't embed the picture, but you should be able to click the link to have a look).

You could try to use the extension: Pylance.

If you want to view related information, you could find it in the folder under the module that you need to install in the created virtual environment.

For example, using the module 'pandas', you can find file 'parsers.py' in '.venv\Lib\site-packages\pandas\io', which contains relevant parsed content.

As Caner Erden pointed out, you can use Pythons base functionality of typing a '?', just make sure you do it before the method, not after.

This will give you the complete documentation you are looking for, just within the code cell, unfortunately not a pop out window like Jupyter Notebook.

Example of documentation in vscode-jupyter

This contextual help issue is being tracked here on vscode-jupyter GitHub.

Sometimes I can't read all the lines; so I click the method then shift f12 open definition to the side. Then if I hover, I can read all the lines.
