Hi,
I'm wondering about the purpose of this code in inspect.Signature.fromfunction(): """ if not isinstance(func, types.FunctionType): raise TypeError('{!r} is not a Python function'.format(func)) """ Is there any reason why this method would have to explicitly check the type of its argument? Why can't it just accept any object that quacks like a function?
The signature() function checks for types.FunctionType in order to call Signature.from_function(). How would you reimplement that?
