Jupyter Notebook Python auto docstring generation with triple quotation

Question

I'm working in a jupyter notebook using python and trying to use the auto-documentation function to generate docstrings like below. When working in an IDE like pycharm a triple quotation + Enter underneath the function generates docstrings like shown below.

def test_function(df: pd.DataFrame, probs: dict) -> int:
    """
    :param df: 
    :param probs: 
    :return: 
    """

Currently my output from the notebook gives the output below and does not parse any arguments inside the function.

def test_function(df: pd.DataFrame, probs: dict) -> int:
    """

    """

You can have that functionality in VScode, sublime, pytorch and other IDEs but not in jupyter the closest solution I found was to install nbextensions and use snippets to add a docstring template. it decreases typing by 50% but still not auto generating.

pytorch is an IDE ? Do you mean PyCharm ? – Demark
