help() hangs gtk

Description
I use accerciser's excellent ipython_view.py in an Exaile plugin, and a bug reporter noticed that invoking help() causes it to hang. It seems that this invokes python's interactive debugger/introspection cli, which has it's own blocking eventloop.
Not a serious bug, but an easy workaround is to block help like exit and quit:
self.updateNamespace({'help':lambda *x:None})
