PyCFunctions are surprisingly compatible with
inspect.getfullargspec
et. al., through a mechanism called__text_signature__
. This means thatpybind11-stubgen
will not activate its docstring-parsing fallback. This is problematic forpybind11-stubgen
however, because the__text_signature__
does not have any mechanism for including type hints or annotations.This is relevant to

as I have been porting some C API functions away frompybind11
to CPython and hit a snag trying to do it piecemeal, aspybind11-stubgen
won't generate stubs for functions created in the CPython way.A test case could be as simple as:
And then installing this onto a pybind11 module:
