Current code works fine for me with __builtins__... or did you mean
"keywords"?

On my machine, nothing is echoed for keywords. I don't use eldoc
normally, though, so I do not know if it always used to work like this.

What would you like to see displayed for things like import or except?
The output of "help('import')" is pretty long... First sentence might
make some sense, but I am not sure if it would be useful?
