When executing

help()

and giving an input of, say,ghi to the prompt,help terminates with an error.

However, the IDLE calltip for help changes from

(*args, **kwds)Define the builtin 'help'

to

Import can't find module, or can't find name in module.

(This is after ending thehelp session and typinghelp()

What is weird is that if I do the same thing again, except that I provide an input ofabc, as an example of a valid name, the calltip restores back to what it originally was.

Besides, the calltip also changes for other names. If I reproduce this issue, and then I typeprint(, the same calltip

Import can't find module, or can't find name in module.

comes.

Is this intended behaviour?

NOTE: This behaviour is not specific tohelp. See#105689 (comment).

My environment

• CPython versions tested on: 3.11.3
• Operating system and architecture: Windows 11

(Note: I wanted to attach a picture, but calltips go away as soon as I take a screenshot)
