Is there any reason it doesn't show the function 'prototype' which is by far the most the useful piece of information and is also a form of documentation (plus fairly hard to work out).  Convoluted technospeak is far harder to understand.  Compare:

TypeError: f() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 0 were given

versus:

TypeError: f(a, b=2) takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 0 were given
