+Implementation of PEP 362 (Function Signature Objects)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+What is this?
+====================
+
+An implementation of `PEP 362`_; an object representation of the call signature
+of functions/methods.
+
+Hopefully this code will end up in Python's standard library at some point
+(aiming for Python 2.6).
+
+.. _PEP 362: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0362/
+
+
+Why package it up?
+====================
+
+There has been some interest in the work now.  I am still hoping to get the code
+into Python's standard library, but until then there is no reason for the code
+to not be used by others immediately.
+
+
+What versions of Python does it work with?
+==========================================
+
+Running the unit tests suggests that Python 2.4 and greater work with the code.
+But this is NOT a guarantee this will hold for future versions of this code!
+
+The version number will get bumped as open issues in the PEP are closed.
+
+
+What is the version history?
+============================
+
+0.4
+----
+
+Initial release.  Corresponds to verion 58051 of PEP 362.
