New submission from Larry Hastings: Boy was I surprised by this:
>>> class C: pass ... >>> import inspect >>> inspect.signature(C) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/larry/src/python/clinic_c_types_hacking/Lib/inspect.py", line 1557, in signature raise ValueError('callable {!r} is not supported by signature'.format(obj)) ValueError: callable <class '__main__.C'> is not supported by signature Why not? C is a callable object. If you can't find a __new__ or an __init__ in the class, its signature should be pretty predictable. (It returns a signature if you add either a __new__, an __init__, or both.) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 208502 nosy: brett.cannon, larry, ncoghlan, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: inspect.Signature doesn't support user classes without __init__ or __new__ type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20308> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
