Code completion displays docstrings

Version 2.4.3 of PyScripter is available at the PyScripter project page.  This new version implements a number of improvements in code completion (see previous post). In addition to what was described in that post, it now displays docstrings during code completion as hints.  The hints are available for modules, functions and classes.  See images below:
