Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
(I presume'ordinal' meant 'ordinary'.) I don't know where signature finds the
info on built-in type objects Methods like .append have .__text_signature__.
List does not, and list.__call__.__text_signature is the generic '($self, /,
*args, **kwargs)'. That signature finds it somewhere is a reason for the
switch. There is no longer a signature in the first lines of the docstring. So
currently, 'list(' only displays "Built-in mutable sequence."
Louie, I verified that for python-coded classes, signature itself gets the info
from the __init__ method, so we don't need 'fob = ob.__init__' for python
classes either.
