[Paraview] Python help missing in Mac OSX 3.6.1 binaries

I have installed on my Mac the 3.6.1 binary distribution of ParaView.  I have discovered that when I open the Python shell (Tools -> Python Shell) and then attempt to use the help function in it, lots of things are missing from the result.  For example, if I type

sphere = Sphere()
help(sphere)

I get the following useless information:

Help on Sphere: <paraview.servermanager.Sphere object>

However, if I type the same thing in a build I have made myself, I get quite a bit of documentation about the Sphere class and its attributes.  Does anyone else see this?
