.show?? pops up the graphics item as well as the help page

[jasongrout]

At the command line:

sage: a=plot(x^2,(x,-1,1))
sage: a.show??
sage: a.show?

In either of the last two commands, the plot pops up on my Ubuntu 7.10 box (as well as the help).

Component: graphics

This is due to the following:

String Form:    <bound method Graphics.show of >

whereas after show_default(False), we get:

String Form:    <bound method Graphics.show of Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive>

This can be fixed if we can tell IPython to set show_default(False) when doing things like repr(a.show)

Attachment: trac_2163.patch.gz

I had already fixed some problems caused by removing the 'nodoctest' at the top before realizing there's no good way to test the function which I added.

The thing which addresses this ticket is the last hunk at the bottom of the patch.

This fixes the problem. Tests pass in interpreter.py as well (thanks for fixing all those too!)

Positive review.
