+
+    OUTPUT:

+
+
+    .. NOTE::
+
+        Currently the type information is not returned, because the output
+        is converted from the return value of :func:`sage_getargspec`.
+        This should be changed in the future.

+    EXAMPLES::

+
+    In the case of a class or a class instance, the `Signature` of the
+    `__new__`, `__init__` or `__call__` method is returned::
+
+        sage: P.<x,y> = QQ[]
