Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

This is not an issue, but a fundamental restriction of what getargspec()
can do.  C function signatures are not introspectable, because basically
every C function can be thought of as defined as either

  def func(*args)

or 

  def func(*args, **kwargs)

and is free to do what it wants with the args and kwargs.
