A) pydoc and help() should not show bound parameters in the signature, like inspect.signature. B) pydoc and help() should show bound parameters in the signature, like inspect.getfullargspec. Provided they are described as methods rather than functions, bound methods should not show self. Likewise for classmethod and cls. That is, I'm voting +1 on A provided help() doesn't confuse methods and functions.
+1 from me for fixing the signature help() and pydoc report for bound methods that are reported as such.
Cheers, Nick.
