The inspect.getargspec and getfullargspec functions allow you to extract the function call signature for Python functions and methods. This allows you to work out the constructor signature for pure-Python classes, by calling inspect.getargspec on the __init__ or __new__ method.

So far so good. But if the __init__ method is inherited directly from a built-in, getargspec fails:
How do I programmatically get the argument spec of built-in types' __init__ or __new__ methods?
Idle tooltips rely on doc strings for builtins. (And by the way, thanks for the example, as it might crash Idle even after my current patch. I will have to check. See http://bugs.python.org/issue12510 if interested.)
