My system is centos 7 with anaconda5.3.1 and spyder 3.3.3
When I coding in spyder, I want to get help of how to use a function.
For example, I want to know how to use read_sql of pandas.In the Ipython console,I tried:

In [6]: read_sql?
Object `read_sql` not found.

In [7]: pandas.read_sql?
Object `pandas.read_sql` not found.

What's the problem?

You need to import `pandas` first (with the command `import pandas`) to get the help of `pandas.read_sql`. Did you do that? – Carlos Cordoba Mar 20 '19 at 08:57
@CarlosCordoba,you mean import `pandas` in console? – kittygirl Mar 20 '19 at 09:57
Yep, that's what I meant. – Carlos Cordoba Mar 20 '19 at 10:27
