On ipython or jupyter notebook  you can use all the above mentioned ways  but i go with   my func    or   my func   for quick summary of both method signature and docstring   I avoid using   my func      as commented by  rohan  for docstring and use it only to check the source code

Interactively  you can display it with  help my func    Or from code you can retrieve it with  my func   doc

You can also use inspect getdoc  It cleans up the   doc   by normalizing tabs to spaces and left shifting the doc body to remove common leading spaces
