I think we'll add a 'format' method to the Signature, that will work like 'inspect.formatargspec'. 'Signature.__str__' will use it with default parameters/formatters. I'm not sure how __repr__ should look like. Maybe default repr (object.__repr__) is good enough. - Yury _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
