>>> import inspect

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise TypeError('arg is not a Python function')
TypeError: arg is not a Python function

Is this normal or a known issue? I couldn't find an existing ticket.

This is not an issue, but a fundamental restriction of what getargspec()
can do.  C function signatures are not introspectable, because basically
every C function can be thought of as defined as either

  def func(*args)

or 

  def func(*args, **kwargs)

and is free to do what it wants with the args and kwargs.

You're right, I was confused by the statement "arg is not a Python 
function". I didn't realize 'arg' meant the function I passed to 
getargspec, I thought it was just strange.

After digging a bit into inspect.py, may I suggest line 814 be changed 
from:
raise TypeError('arg is not a Python function')

to:
raise TypeError('%s is not a Python function' % func)

That way the error I would have received would have given:
TypeError: <built-in function print> is not a Python function

OK, that is reasonable. I changed this and several other same-style
errors in r74901.
