[IPython-dev] Odd problem with dynamically generated function in IPython notebook

[Stephen Chan]

Hello,
   I'm generating some helper functions dynamically and setting the
docstrings via assignment to the __doc__ attribute of the helper function.
In the command line, the interpreter seems to recognize the docstring
properly and displays it, but in the notebook, the docstring is not being
returned by the UI, even though you can see it when you check the attribute
directly.

   Any ideas?

   Steve
