"No definition found"

[Juan Nunez-Iglesias]

Hmm. Well IPython seems to work fine with unicode docstrings in when you
specify the encoding, in Python files at least...

def foo(x):
    """Añadir 1 al número deseado."""
    return x + 1


gives

In [1]: import foo
  File "foo.py", line 2
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file foo.py on line 2, but
no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for
details


but placing the line `# coding=utf-8` at the start of the file gives:

In [2]: import foo

In [3]: %pdoc foo.foo
Class Docstring:
    Añadir 1 al número deseado.
Calling Docstring:
    x.__call__(...) <==> x(...)


So maybe it's a Cython thing?

Science is tricky... ;)
