Here's how it looks now:\r\n\r\n```\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e help(zoneinfo.ZoneInfo.clear_cache)\r\nHelp on built-in function clear_cache:\r\n\r\nclear_cache(...) method of builtins.type instance\r\n    Clear the ZoneInfo cache.\r\n```\r\n\r\n2. Add `__text_signature__` property to methods, it is very useful: for example, `python/typeshed` uses it to be sure that stubs and implementation match\r\n3. Move all argument parsing to clinic, which is more convenient\r\n\r\n# Previous discussion\r\n\r\n1. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84683\r\n2. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/19909\r\n3. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/19909#discussion_r425272501\r\n\r\nI will send a PR for this today :)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sobolevn","@type":"Person","name":"sobolevn"},"datePublished":"2022-10-06T10:01:49.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/97955/cpython/issues/97955"}
