Copy/paste of the message:

Preparing a presentation about Python Magic methods I found something weird: (Python 3.4)

"""

help(int.lt) Help on wrapper_descriptor:

lt(self, value, /) <- THIS!! Return self<value. """

I am amused about the "/)" suffix in the signature. It happens to all magic methods.
