See Issue 23738 where my current patch proposes using the PEP 457 slash (/) notation in the RST documentation, including for eval(). I’m not sure if there is a clear concensus for applying my patch however. An alternative would be to use the square-bracket notation, and explain in the text that the default values are None.

See also Issue 21314 about explaining the slash notation used by Argument Clinic and pydoc.
