[IPython-User] [IPython-user] Simple problem with ??

[PeterL777]

Hi
I'm using IPython 0.10 on WinXP32.
>From how I read it, ? and ?? do similar things, and they do the same at the
beginning or end.
But this is what I'm getting:

In [1]: a=range(10)
In [2]: a?
Type:           list
Base Class:     <type 'list'>
String Form:    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Namespace:      Interactive
Length:         10
Docstring:
    list() -> new list
list(sequence) -> new list initialized from sequence's items

In [3]: ?a
(same)

In [4]: a??
(same)

In [5]: ??a
------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     ??a
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is this a bug?
Thanks
Peter
