[New-bugs-announce] [issue38918] Add __module__ entry for function type in inspect docs table.

[Eric Snow]

New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurrently at gmail.com>:

The docs page for the inspect module has a large table describing the special attributes of various important types.  One entry for function attributes is missing: __module__.  It should be added.

Note that __module__ *is* included in the function attributes listed in the language reference. [2]

The same goes for the "method" (really "instance method") section of the table: it should also have __module__. [3]
