Here's PEP 362:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0362/
It adds easy introspection abilities to Python callables. After a
whirlwind of activity over the past several weeks we think it's
ready.
All it needs now is an official pronouncement from some seasoned
veteran of the Python community. But that's where it's hit an
impasse. Nick Coghlan has recused himself because he was heavily
involved in shaping it. And obviously the authors (including
myself, in a small way) are ineligible. Nobody else has stepped
forward. Yet the feature freeze for 3.3 fast approaches--ominous,
unstoppable, like a big round boulder headed straight for Indiana
Jones. Time is running out.
If you're BDFAP material, why not spend an enjoyable hour today
perusing the fine work of these capable folks? Then naturally all
you'd need do is haul out your rubber stamp. Mere moments later
you'd be on your way, whistling a happy tune, a new spring in your
step, knowing in your heart you'd made the world a better place.

So shines a good deed in a weary world,
