IDLE calltips currently contain " # '/' marks preceding args as positional-only." when the signature contains '/' because, before 3.8, '/' was only used by argument clinic and only displayed by inspect.signature. Now that '/' is a regular part of Python, the special note is not needed for the 3.8+ versions of IDLE. The get_argspec docstring also needs updating, and I think the body has some redundant code. The main test change needed is to remove the '/' note from expected returns. I may first isolate any affected tests to minimize the difference between 3.7 and 3.8-9 code, so as to minimize the possibility of merge conflicts in backports. |

#35763 reduced the footprint of the note. #35764 is about revising the calltip doc. Part of the intention was to add something about '/'. Maybe no need now, but if I did, I might remove the calltip note in 3.7. |

My students find the note to be very distracting. It is something that is needed no more than once. Afterwards, it becomes something that you have to train yourself to ignore. |

Agreed. Patch removes the note, including from tests. |
