At last, my refreshed patch. Changes from the previous patch:
* Had another mildly bright idea. The name "PyTypeObject *cls"
is a holdover from < Python 2.2 days, before the merging of classes
and types. Now they're both the same thing and the official name
in Python is "type". So the self_converter uses the word "type".
* Added __text_signature__ to PyType_Type.
* Removed __text_signature__ from PyMemberDescr_Type, as it's not
callable. (What was I thinking!)
* Hand-coded signatures for default docstrings for slots.
* Hand-coded signature for type and object. (The one for type isn't
correct, I know, we'll get there.)
* clinic.py now generates self/module/type parameters for most
text signatures; these are then stripped off if the function is
bound.
* Ensured that inspect.signature raises ValueError if it can't
generate a signature for a callable object.
* Added unit tests.
* Suppress the null "self" parameter for METH_STATIC calls in the impl.
* If you have an empty docstring for __new__ or __init__, it suppresses
the static variables completely.
* Functions with a self converter use the type of self for the
parsing function. (Except __new__ and __init__, which must conform
to using PyObject *.)
Boy am I emotionally ready to check this thing in.
