Broadly, you want the "inspect" module, which is part of the stdlib, documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html It has many functions for extracting information about things, and you want the signature() function to get the parameters and type annotations of a function. def f(a): ... sig = signature(f) You also want the function docstring for the help text, which is "f.__doc__" in the example above. This is what gets printed by help(): >>> import numpy as np >>> help(np.invert) It may be that PyCharm has additional information about some libraries allowing it to include a reference to the only documentation.
