"view method hierarchy" doesn't work

Hi all,

I'm a physician and I do a little bit of programming as a hobby and also as part of my job. I used to code in java but now I'm switching to Python for scientific calculation in the machine learning field.

I currently use PyCharm which I'm very happy with. However, comming from an Eclipse background with java, I used to be able to obtain the method (or any object) hierarchy just by hovering my mouse over the method (or object) name: For exemple: java.io.PrintStream.println.

I couldn't find the same in PyCharm: Even if I select the method I wanna have information about (for exemple the "print" method) and go to the "View" menu, I can't acces to "method hierarchy" (or ctrl + shift + H)  because it's always unavailable (i.e grey).

The same is true for "Windows --> Tool windows"... I can't acces some of the options like "depency viewer", "changes" etc.

Sorry for the rookie question but... Am I missing something here?

Sorry for my english too...

Thanks!

David

Hello david,

What exactly do you mean by the method hierarchy? If you need to see where

the method is declared, press Ctrl-B (Goto Definition).
