See PEP 457 for the broader context: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0457/ The migration of pydoc (and other introspection APIs) to inspect.signature in Python 3.4 entailed having an unambiguous string representation of positional only parameters - that's the trailing '/' (which mirrors the corresponding syntax in the Argument Clinic DSL).
