[New-bugs-announce] [issue8916] Move PEP 362 (function signature objects) into inspect

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

To get function signature objects (PEP 362) moving forward I should get it into the inspect module. That way people can start using it more beyond those in PyPI (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep362).

Michael Foord has mentioned how IronPython could use function signature objects. This would be a first step in getting the objects standardized enough so that IronPython could eventually consider putting them on all of their objects.
