As of (I think) 3.4 pydoc and the help() function will show you the signature of the wrapped function as long as you use functools.wraps. I don't know what the status is for Sphinx; all I can offer is this stackoverflow link. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3687046/python-sphinx-autodoc-and-decorated-members -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
