Nice.

Yury was probably referring to https://funcsigs.readthedocs.io/, which
is a partial backport specifically of inspect.Signature and friends.

Either way, the answer to Christian's original question is that "Yes,
supporting __signature__ is also useful in Python 2.x", as even though
the native inspect module doesn't support it, 3rd party backports do.

Cheers,
Nick.
