[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Rewrite Python standard library tags creation script for Python 3 (PR #3039)

[Enrico Tröger]

This is a followup of #2630 to fully port the `scripts/create_py_tags.py` script for generating tags for the Python standard library to Python 3.

While continuing on @claudep's work, I noticed plain porting is harder than to more or less rewrite the script. Now the script works by fully importing the modules, if possible, to use Python's `inspect.Signature` API to extract symbols. If this is not possible, the existing regular expression based parser is used as fallback.

Deprecated modules are ignored completely as well as a couple of special modules like the included Idle IDE and executable modules in general.

I'm using the resulting tags file since a few weeks and it feels fine, much better than before especially because of the better extracted argument lists of functions and methods.
