Here's the complete patch for PC/winreg.c. One clinic/signature/pydoc issue
I've noticed:
>>> help(winreg.HKEYType.Close)
Help on method_descriptor:
Close(...) <--- No signature
Close() <--- Extra
Closes the underlying Windows handle.
If the handle is already closed, no error is raised.
>>> winreg.HKEYType.Close.__doc__
'Close()\nCloses the underlying Windows handle.\n\nIf the handle is already clos
ed, no error is raised.'
>>> winreg.HKEYType.Close.__text_signature__
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'method_descriptor' object has no attribute '__text_signature__'
My gut feeling is that it's a Clinic issue; Clinic should be adding 'self' to
the signature, which should then be picked up by the __text_signature__ parser,
and used by inspect and pydoc.
As far as the patch, one point I'd like some extra scrutiny on is the
HKEY_converter (and C clinic_HKEY_converter). I don't understand how all of
the C machinery there works properly, so I can't say with confidence that it is
right. It compiles without errors and the tests pass, but beyond that, I can't
guarantee anything.
