Hello,
I'm creating a notepad++ plugin which hosts an embedded python interpreter by
using cffi to build the dll.
So far so good. One obstacle I've found is that I'm not able to use
exec(help(object)) in order to get the wanted info from the object.
The error I get is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<init code for 'Python3Script'>", line 131, in run_code

If I encase the object with quotes then I do get the info that no documentation
is found for that object.
1. It doesn't feel right to encase the object with quotes. I don't have to do
this using the standard python interpreter shell. What did I miss?
2. If it is needed to use the encased way, why don't it show the help info?
The object class contains the module, class and functions doc strings, what did
I miss here?
I don't understand the "exec(help(object))" bit. help(object) print the
help and returns None, so why exec(None)?
