Martin Panter <vadmium+py at gmail.com> added the comment:

It is supposed to be a function signature, similar to the syntax when you define your own function, rather than a usage example of calling the function.

In this case, the slash notation is described by PEP 457. It is supposed to indicate that “obj” is a positional-only parameter, and not a keyword parameter. If that is what you think is incorrect, perhaps you can suggest a place to explain the notation in Issue 21314.
