From the documentation of `inspect.signature` it seems we should never have a RuntimeError:
```
Raises ValueError if no signature can be provided, and TypeError if that type of object is not supported.
```

The easiest thing to do is just turn the RuntimeError into a ValueError... but I'll take a deeper look and see if I can actually fix this.

Traceback below:
