New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer.lee at gmail.com>:
Starting from the custom2 example at https://docs.python.org/3/extending/newtypes_tutorial.html#adding-data-and-methods-to-the-basic-example, change the methods table to
static PyMethodDef Custom_methods[] = {
{"foo", (PyCFunction) Custom_foo, METH_VARARGS,
"foo(x=ONE)\n--\n\nFoos this."
},
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
and add a global ONE to the module dict:
PyModule_AddObject(m, "ONE", PyLong_FromLong(1));
Building and running e.g. pydoc on this module results in
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../lib/python3.7/inspect.py", line 2003, in wrap_value
value = eval(s, module_dict)
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'ONE' is not defined
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../lib/python3.7/inspect.py", line 2006, in wrap_value
value = eval(s, sys_module_dict)
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'ONE' is not defined
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../lib/python3.7/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
"__main__", mod_spec)
<elided>
File ".../lib/python3.7/inspect.py", line 2008, in wrap_value
raise RuntimeError()
RuntimeError
I think the fix is fairly simple; one needs to replace
module_name = getattr(obj, '__module__', None)
in inspect.py::_signature_fromstr by
module_name = (getattr(obj, '__module__', None)
or getattr(getattr(obj, '__objclass__'), '__module__', None))
(This is a less general but simpler solution than https://bugs.python.org/issue23967.)
