[Python-Dev] __signature__ for PySide ready

[Christian Tismer]

Hi friends,

in the last months, I have developed signature support for
PySide. The module creates the same signatures as are known
for plain Python functions.

As a non-trivial addition, the module also handles multiple
signatures as a list. I consider this extension to PySide
as quite essential and actually more important as for Python
itself, because type info is rather crucial for PySide.

Initially, I wrote this as a pure Python 3 extension.
Then I was "asked" to port this to Python 2 too, which was
quite hairy to do. I'm not sure if I should have done that.

Before I publish this module, I want to ask:
--------------------------------------------

Is it a bad idea to support signatures in Python 2 as well?
Do I introduce a feature that should not exist in Python 2?
Or is it fine to do so?

Please let me know your opinion, I am happy with any result.

Cheers -- Chris
