Thanks for that. I agree it's a shame we missed the 3.4 feature deadline (as I would also like to see full C level signature support done and dusted), but once 3.4 is out the door we can hopefully resurrect PEP 457 as a direct successor to the original PEP 362, and update the inspect module to also handle these quirkier variants. Perhaps we can even add that public API for building Signature objects from string definitions, since that has proved quite handy internally :)

Cheers,
Nick.
