A leading underscore marks an argument Rust sees as unused and `r#` escapes a Rust keyword. Neither describes the parameter a Python caller passes, and `r#` is not valid Python, so `inspect.signature()` rejects any signature carrying one. Reporting the bare name fixes _sre.template, select.epoll.__exit__ and bytearray.__reduce_ex__ without touching them, and lets a method name a parameter after a Rust keyword. A parameter CPython itself names with a leading underscore, such as compile's `_feature_version`, reaches Python through a FromArgs field, which this never sees. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
A generated __text_signature__ reports the Rust parameter name, so a name chosen for Rust reaches anyone reading help() or inspect. Rename the ones CPython describes differently: list.pop's `i` becomes `index`, list.count's `needle` becomes `value`, __format__'s `spec` becomes `format_spec`, bytes.strip's `chars` becomes `bytes`, and object.__reduce_ex__'s `proto` becomes `protocol`. Left alone are the parameters CPython reports as `object` or `unused`. Those are synthesised from the METH_* flags rather than named: CPython reports slice.indices as ($self, object, /) while its own docstring calls the argument len. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
os.read's `n` becomes `length`, os.lseek's `how` becomes `whence`, os.kill's `sig` becomes `signal`, os.stat's `file` becomes `path`, and os.putenv's `key` becomes `name`, among others. os.chmod is left alone. It reports (path, dir_fd, mode, follow_symlinks) while the call binds mode second and takes follow_symlinks by keyword, so the order and the kind are wrong rather than the names, which a rename cannot fix. os.fstatvfs is left alone too: it shares one Rust function with statvfs, which CPython names `path`, so the two aliases cannot report different names. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
sys.excepthook's (exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb) become (exctype, value, traceback), sys._getframe's `offset` becomes `depth`, sys.intern's `s` becomes `string`, and sys.settrace's `tracefunc` becomes `function`. sys._clear_type_descriptors takes the name CPython gives it, which Rust spells r#type. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
deque.rotate's `mid` becomes `n`, deque.extend's `iter` becomes `iterable`, _sre.ascii_tolower's `ch` becomes `character`, _operator.neg's `pos` becomes `a`, signal.alarm's `time` becomes `seconds`, and codecs.register_error's `name` becomes `errors`. gc.collect and charmap_build keep theirs. Their argument is a FromArgs struct or a PosArgs bundle, so the reported name is the binding rather than a parameter, and renaming the binding would only disguise that. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
unicodedata.category's `character` becomes `chr`, math.isqrt's `x` becomes `n`, cmath.polar's `x` becomes `z`, struct.calcsize's `fmt` becomes `format`, binascii.crc32's `init` becomes `crc`, zlib.adler32's `begin_state` becomes `value`, and array.append's `x` becomes `v`. array.fromunicode's parameter is `ustr`, which cspell has to be told about. array.__deepcopy__ keeps `_memo`, which the generator now reports as `memo`; CPython calls it `unused`, a name synthesised from METH_O rather than chosen. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
CPython calls the argument of split and subgroup `matcher_value`. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5

syn already removes r# through IdentExt::unraw, the way from_args.rs does for a field name. The empty-name guard never ran: a bare `_` is Pat::Wild, which func_sig has already refused. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-fable-5-1

Rename element to object in list.insert.
#[pymethod] derives the text signature from Rust parameter names. Since func_sig preserves element, the generated signature differs from CPython, which uses object.
Proposed fix
- pub(crate) fn insert(&self, index: isize, element: PyObjectRef) {
+ pub(crate) fn insert(&self, index: isize, object: PyObjectRef) {
let mut elements = self.borrow_vec_mut();
let index = elements.saturate_index(index);
- elements.insert(index, element);
+ elements.insert(index, object);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
A generated
__text_signature__reports the Rust parameter name, sohelp(),inspect.signature()and tab completion show whatever name reads well in Rust. Of the 1,591 signatures RustPython and CPython both define, parameter names now match CPython for 1,300, up from 1,171. Nothing that matched before stops matching, and every generated signature still parses.What changed
_andr#from a parameter name._marks an argument Rust doesn't use, andr#escapes a keyword but its#starts a comment in Python, so(r#type, /)fails to parse. This alone fixes_sre.template,select.epoll.__exit__andbytearray.__reduce_ex__, and letssys._clear_type_descriptorstake the name CPython gives it.os.read'sntolength,sys.excepthook'sexc_tbtotraceback,unicodedata.category'scharactertochr,list.pop'sitoindex, and so on.Left for #8383
242 of the 1,591 still differ.
FromArgsstruct orFuncArgsthe generator cannot see into. This covers most of the 182 that disagree on how many parameters there are, and some that only look like a name difference:gc.collectreports(args, /)where CPython reportsgeneration, andos.chmodreports(path, dir_fd, mode, follow_symlinks, /)althoughos.chmod(p, 0o644)bindsmodesecond and acceptsfollow_symlinksby keyword. WhenFromArgsstarts reporting its fields, it has to keep a leading_:compile's_feature_versionis one, and CPython reports it with the underscore.PosArgsparameter is reported as a single positional one, sofrozenset.differenceis($self, others, /)where CPython has($self, /, *others). 10 signatures.os.statvfsandos.fstatvfsare one Rust function registered twice, so they cannot report CPython's separatepathandfd.Notes
objectorunusedkeep their RustPython names. CPython fills these in from theMETH_*flags when a function has no signature of its own:slice.indicesis($self, object, /)while its own docstring calls the argumentlen, and RustPython already reportslength.set.symmetric_differenceaccepts any number of arguments, sos.symmetric_difference({2}, {3})returns a set where CPython raisesTypeError. This is a behaviour bug rather than a signature one, left for a separate fix..cspell.jsonlearnsustr, CPython's name forarray.fromunicode's parameter.util.rschange only affects howfunc_sigspells a name, not how it classifies arguments, in case that bears on the convention mentioned on Stop generating a__text_signature__thatinspectcannot parse #8681.Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5
