The docs page for the inspect module has a large table describing the special attributes of various important types.  One entry for function attributes is missing: __module__.  It should be added.

Note that __module__ *is* included in the function attributes listed in the language reference. [2]

The same goes for the "method" (really "instance method") section of the table: it should also have __module__. [3]

Hey Eric,

I made a PR [1] which adds an entry for __module__ in the "function" and "method" sections of the table [2]. Can you review it and let me know if any changes are required?
