This must be addressed one way or the other. Otherwise you will break isolation of sub interpreters. Builtin objects, types and methods *must* be immutable because they are shared across subinterpreters. This topic has been addressed by the PEP. Proposal: You could store the signature objects for builtin methods in a dict in each PyInterpreterState and use the qualname to reference the signature object. This ensures full isolation.
