Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The attached patch is a very rough prototype which seems to work (but wasn't tested beyond running pydoc on a number of function(-like) objects.
With the patch the documentation for a callable defined in C but with a __signature__ property shows argument names in the rendered prototype instead of just '(...)' while the documentation for python functions and C functions without a __signature__ also works. Issues: * Rendering to HTML is broken if a function has POSITIONAL_ONLY arguments (the names of those arguments are rendered as '<arg>' and that value is not escaped in the HTML output) * This adds a "render" method to inspect.Signature and inspect.Param to be able to pass custom render function for elements of a signature and I'm not convinced that this is the right solution. * There are no unittests for the new code (and I haven't run the existing tests to check if anything else has broken) ---------- stage: needs patch -> test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
