Is there a way to make Eclipse+PyDev display function documentation like Python's help() would?

Question

I would like to force Eclipse to show Python's help output in the popup instead of the whole function, i.e. given:

def myFunc(arg):
    '''Function description'''
    return 1

I would like the code assist popup to contain only "Function description" and not "return 1"

Have you read the Pydev and Eclipse documentation or source and figured out specifically what you would need to change? — smci, Aug 13 '11 at 21:38

Try ticking 'Show docstrings?' in 'Window -> Preferences -> Pydev -> Editor -> Hover'.
