When using IPython as the python-shell-interpreter using (setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython" python-shell-interpreter-args "-i --simple-prompt") the fallback shell completion is used. When this IPython is using the python3-interpreter upon resting point on a function name some information is shown using eldoc, but also /usr/sbin/ipython:21: DeprecationWarning: inspect.getargspec() is deprecated, use inspect.signature() or inspect.getfullargspec() This can be easily fixed by customizing python-eldoc-setup-code to not only account for the differing str_type between python2 and python3, but to also either set inspect.getargspec or inspect.getfullargspec as inspection function.
