Yes, one function that is called at startup, so no, a local import of the stdlib inspect module would not help. > def get_object_signature(obj): > """ > Get the signature from obj > """ > try: > sig = formatargspec(*getargspec(obj)) > except TypeError as errmsg: > sig = '' > # msg = "Unable to retrieve the signature of %s '%s'\n"\ > # "(Initial error message: %s)" > # warnings.warn(msg % (type(obj), > # getattr(obj, '__name__', '???'), > # errmsg)) > return sig > > Where a local import would do as well.
