{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Incorrect description of the __signature__ attribute in docs","articleBody":"# Bug report\n\n### Bug description:\n\nSince #106311 its documented in the ``inspect.signature()`` sphinx docs as:\n\"If the passed object has a ``__signature__`` attribute, this function returns it without further computations.\"\n\nThat looks correct per PEP 362, see the [implementation section](https://peps.python.org/pep-0362/#implementation).  But actual code logic goes far away from this simple description:\nhttps://github.com/python/cpython/blob/8e8ab75d97f51c2850eb8cd711010662d5f1d360/Lib/inspect.py#L2549-L2562\n\nEither we should document this properly (then this is a documentation issue).  Or we could change the code and remove undocumented logic.  As this attribute was documented recently, I'll suggest the second option.\n\n### CPython versions tested on:\n\nCPython main branch\n\n### Operating systems tested on:\n\n_No response_\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-115984\n* gh-116086\n* gh-116106\n* gh-116107\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/skirpichev","@type":"Person","name":"skirpichev"},"datePublished":"2024-02-26T09:30:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/115937/cpython/issues/115937"}
