You could try using Pycharms external documentation feature. The URL should look something like that https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python_api/#carla.{class.name}.{function.name}.

Hi, @HarryWindsor !

Did the solution provided by @pperle served you well?

This does not work. PyCharm won't give any information when for example hovering over carla.World. If I manually go to e.g. https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python_api/#carla.World, it works.

@Alby407 you are right, the URL I posted does not work for classes, only for their functions. For classes, there is one dot to many https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python_api/#carla.World..
I think the right parameter to use would be {element.qname} - full-qualified name of element under caret. The problem is that the fully-qualified name is not carla.World but carla.libcarla.World which does not match the doc URL (and even this would not fix the problem, looks like PyCharm has problems parsing the docs).

The right solution would be to include the docs.

Inspired by this post I tried to add the docstring from carla/PythonAPI/docs/*.yml to the python stub. You can find the code here: https://github.com/pperle/carla/tree/docstrings_py . It is hacky, I know but it works well enough for me at the moment.

If anyone is interested here is the compiled Linux version carla-0.9.9-py3.5-linux-x86_64.egg.zip. The only thing that does not work are the type hints.

@pperle you have ran 90% of this marathon...would you like to finish it by making a PR to CARLA?
