Does Pythonista have the ability to show function prototypes as you enter a script.

I would like to be able to see what the prototype is for the function as I am creating my script. I am new to Python, NumPy and MatPlotLibl and it would be helpful.
It takes awhile if you have to look up the syntax for the function arguments.
Thanks

If you long-press an identifier, it will pop up an option to open the help browser.
You can also search for methods in the buil in doc viewer (question mark).
Of course, you can also use the python built in help from the console.

import os
help(os.relpath)
