 What I did was designed to work on files.

 Concerning doc: You did not provide `basetwo` with a custom documentation
 - if you modify its `__doc__` then it works:
 {{{
 sage: deriv.__doc__='blablabla'
 sage: si.sage_getdoc(deriv)
 'blablabla\n'
 }}}

 Certainly sage_getsource can not work on your example, since you do not
 have a source file.

 I believe, however, that sage_getargspec should work on functools.partial,
 even if there is no source file.

 > 3) Partial functions on partial functions seem to will never work with
 your patch; perhaps you should have the check in a while loop or call the
 method recursively. This might pertain to other checks in the codes as
 well!

 When I recursively call sage_getargspec on the `.func` attribute then it
 should work fine. That would be better than asking for the source, in the
 first place.
