Hello, Following the previous clinic thread, I realize that the latest signature improvements actually entail a regression in __doc__. Compare:
$ ./python -c "print(dict.fromkeys.__doc__)" Returns a new dict with keys from iterable and values equal to value. $ python3.3 -c "print(dict.fromkeys.__doc__)" dict.fromkeys(S[,v]) -> New dict with keys from S and values equal to v. v defaults to None. As you see the signature string has vanished from the __doc__ contents. This means that any tool directly processing __doc__ attributes to generate (e.g.) automatic API docs will produce less useful docs. I think the signature should be restored, and a smarter way of reconciling __doc__ and the signature for help() should be found.
