Hi Python Devs I recently started testing Jedi with Python 3.7. Some tests broke. I realized that one of the things that changed in 3.7 was the use of argument clinic in methods like str.replace.
The issue is that the text signature doesn't contain a return annotation. >>> str.replace.__text_signature__ '($self, old, new, count=-1, /) In Python < 3.7 there was a `S.replace(old, new[, count]) -> str` at the top of the __doc__. T If the __text_signature__ was `'($self, old, new, count=-1, /) -> str` a lot of tools would be able to have the information again. Is this intentional or was this just forgotten? I'd like to note that this information is insanely helpful (at least for Jedi) to pick up type information. I really hope this information can make it back into 3.7, since it was there in earlier versions. If you lack don't have time I might have some. Just give me some instructions. ~ Dave PS: Don't get me wrong, I love argument clinic/inspect.signature and am generally in favor of using it everywhere. It helps tools like jedi, pycharm and others get accurate information about a builtin function. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
