This has not officially been submitted as PEP yet, I want to hear your
comments first.
It seems like a huge amount of work compared to the motivation: allow
functions written in C to support introspection. Quote:
"In particular, it is currently not possible to implement a function
efficiently in C (only built-in functions can do that) while still
allowing introspection like inspect.getfullargspec or
inspect.signature, which superceded .getfullargspec, works with C-coded
functions that use ArgumentClinic.
>>> inspect.signature(list)
<Signature (iterable=(), /)>
>>> inspect.signature(list.append)
<Signature (self, object, /)>
>>> inspect.signature(int) # fails
I would be all for more of the builtins and stdlib being converted.
Can't 3rd-party C code use ArgumentClinic?
inspect.getsourcefile (only Python functions can do that)."
Sourcefile is meaningless when there is no source file. C sources would
be far less useful than Python sources.
