In IPython's QT console (on Windows 7), if I type:
import scipy scipy.zeros( followed by Tab, it displays basic documentation for the method, like its signature, parameters, description, etc. In PyCharm CE 3.4.1, I have IPython enabled as my console, but this doesn't happen. The same is true in the actual editor; if I type this code in the editor, nothing shows up. I don't think this is related to the issue in this question (where PyCharm can't tell the type of something because it's not actually running it) but maybe it is.
