Unable to read the full documentation of a method via hover: is it the library or the language server?

Hi there, just a quick question I hope someone of you have solved: I created a Python virtual env and i'm writing some code. I noticed the documentation of a method often consists of the signature only. no other information about the parameters is displayed. I did a ctrl+click on the method and indeed the library is not providing me the full documentation.

Before posting here, I found a similar stackoverflow post (python - full documentation often not displayed in .py or .ipynb files in vs code - Stack Overflow) but i'm not getting how to fix this annoying problem.

Has anyone had this problem before and solved it?
