Description
I would like to be able to retrieve some information about the signature of a SignalInstance (i.e. the parameters accepted by .emit) from only the SignalInstance itself (that is, without having access to the metaObject on the owner of the signal instance).
Take this example:
from PySide2.QtCore import Signal, QObject import inspect class MyObj(QObject): some_signal = Signal() obj = MyObj()
Using inspect.signature gives erroneous info:
>>> inspect.signature(obj.some_signal.emit) <Signature (*args: typing.Any) -> None> >>> obj.some_signal.emit(1) # compatible with the signature above TypeError: some_signal() only accepts 0 argument(s), 1 given!
The signature is stored in the `PySideSignalInstancePrivate` struct, and would be nice to access.
As a sidenote: PyQt adds a .signal .signatures attribute (holding the string signature) to the bound signal instance, that is sufficient for retrieving the signature. Though returning a proper `Signature` instance from `SignalInstance.__signature__` feels more correct
