Not that I know of. The Qt console does it, so you could hunt out the code
that it uses, but it may not be neatly packaged in a function.

I'm not used to spyder, but the Qt console produces tooltips when you open
the bracket for a function call, describing what parameters the function
takes. You could implement something similar using shell.inspector.info(x).
Also, if the user enters something like "theobject.attr?", information
about attr will be displayed.
