          I'm not aware of such feature that will work for all kernels.



          If you are using a Python kernel and have ipython installed you can use inspection functions:






          • %pdoc <object>: Print (or run through a pager if too long) the docstring for an object. If the given object is a class, it will print
            both the class and theconstructor docstrings.


          • %pdef <object>: Print the call signature for any callable object. If the object is a class, print the constructor information.


          • %psource <object>: Print (or run through a pager if too long) the source code for an object.


          • %pfile <object>: Show the entire source file where an object was defined via a pager, opening it at the line where the object
            definition begins.


          • %who/%whos: These functions give information about identifiers you have defined interactively (not things you loaded or defined in
            your configuration files). %who just prints a list of identifiers and
            %whos prints a table with some basic details about each identifier.


          Typing ??word or word?? gives access to the full information,
          including the source code where possible. Long strings are not
          snipped.




          Usage Example
