Can I view the doc string of a function in Python using VIM?

Question

Is there any way to view a function's doc string when writing Python in VIM?

For instance:

def MyFunction(spam):
    """A function that foobars the spam
    returns eggs"""

    return foobar(spam).eggs()

I'd like to be able to type MyFunction(spam0) and see the doc string, either as a tooltip or in the status bar or any other way that VIM allows.

The pythoncomplete script is probably what you are looking for.

OK, I see that I have that as part of the existing distribution. How can I use it? – Nathan Fellman Jul 08 '09 at 10:22
@Nathan Use `Ctrl-x` `Ctrl-o` in the middle of typing the function/method name. – gotgenes Mar 01 '11 at 19:21
