Hey Mariusz,
> According to Python's docs, the --without-doc-strings option should not
affect builtins.
I must be missing something because as I read the docs you linked it fails
to mention this limitation, but that is not the same thing as saying that
it should not affect builtins.
In fact, when you read the CPython source code there are a few places that
make it more explicit. For example, the tests for parsing the signatures
of builtins are ''disabled'' when docstrings are disabled:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/7a0f3c1d92ef0768e082ace19d970b0ef12e7346/Lib/test/test_capi/test_misc.py#L164
Additionally, there is some commentary in-lined into the `inspect` module
about this:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/7a0f3c1d92ef0768e082ace19d970b0ef12e7346/Lib/inspect.py#L2528-L2534
I'll open a ticket with CPython when I have a chance to ask them to
document the limitation, but this is an intentional part of compiling with
`--without-doc-strings`.
> Moreover, we check signatures in other places, I don't think it's worth
the extra complexity.
Is this referring to the specific solution I offered or the concept of
fixing this issue overall?
Sorry if reopening isn't the proper procedure, I'm still trying to learn
my way around Django's process
