I don't think that you can. Methods implemented in C don't really even have established argument specs. They just take tuples and dicts and use the PyArg_Parse* family of functions to unpack them. So effectively, all built-in methods have the argspec (self, *args, **keywords) Cheers, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
