How to stop PyCharm from populating docstrings?

Question

If I add a docstring to the method using the triple quotation mark, as soon as I type a space after the triple quotation mark, PyCharm will populate the docstring with the parameters that the method accepts and a return value, for example:

def fill_blank(self, direction): """ :param direction: :return: """ 

I searched PyCharm's settings for "docstring" and "stub" and disabled everything that appears, even if it doesn't look like this particular behavior; and I googled tall and short, but can't figure out how to make him stop. Does anyone know how? (This is in PyCharm CE 3.4)

Answer 1

You need to set the docstrings format to "Plain". The default is reStructuredText, which gives you these tips.

The parameter is in the Python Integrated Tools in your project settings.
