Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2011-05-13 18:29:58 UTC 
In bug 649657 we introduced using the (skip) annotation on parameters and
return values. It would be good to support that.

   useful is C but useless in python

Ok, I'm not going to support skipped parameters right now.  I feel there are no real usecases and it complicates the code too much.  We can revisit if someone absolutely needs this feature.
Comment 4 johnp 2011-08-25 18:40:34 UTC 
to clarify, the skipped returns patch should be commited but we will not be implementing skipped parameters.

Patch was committed a while ago, and the "skip params" part is wontfix, so closing. Thanks!
