New submission from James Corbett <james.h.corb...@gmail.com>:
As described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25847035/what-are-signature-and-text-signature-used-for-in-python-3-4, https://bugs.python.org/issue20586, and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50537407/add-a-signature-with-annotations-to-extension-methods, it is possible to embed a signature in docstrings for C functions, so that `help` and `inspect.signature` work properly on them. However, this functionality isn't documented anywhere. I think something should be added to the "extending and embedding the Python interpreter" tutorial. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 374547 nosy: docs@python, jameshcorbett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document C docstring behavior type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
