From: Ulrich Eckhardt on 2 Jun 2010 08:20 Hi! When I use help() on a function, it displays the arguments of the function, along with the docstring. However, when wrapping the function using functools.wraps it only displays the arguments that the (internal) wrapper function takes, which is typically "*args, **kwargs", which isn't very useful. Any suggestions how to fix that? Is that even a bug or a systematic limitation? In case of the latter, should the documentation for functools.wraps mention it? Cheers!
