Docstring and argument should be available by shift-tab in the notebook about qcodes HOT 5 CLOSED

Are they not? I use this on a daily basis in QCodes, or is this related to the recent change in using the servers to host instruments? If so then I'd say this is quite a big usability issue.

No, i.e. station.snapshot(<shift><tab>) shows me *args, **kwargs

I would have never figured out that update=True existed without digging through all the code, including the multiprocessing.

Maybe something like this is what we need, or the one that is linked to in the header. Might not work with that remote stuff, but for a lot of other things.

It would also be nice to have the arguments, a lot of *args and **kwargs are in the code, which doesn't help the user a lot.

This is probably been fixed along the way.
Qcodes had a *args, **kwargs abuse problem that we fixed little by tittle.
