      $ ./python
Python 3.10.0a0 (heads/unicode_latin1:40855c7064, Jun 24 2020, 00:20:07) 
>>> import select
>>> select.epoll.register.__text_signature__
'($self, /, fd,\n         eventmask=select.EPOLLIN | select.EPOLLPRI | select.EPOLLOUT)'

>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.signature(select.epoll.register)
<Signature (self, /, fd)>

      => eventmask parameter is gone!

      Either signature() must raise an exception, or it must handle a __text_signature__ containing a newline character.

      Issue spotted on bpo-31938 when fixing "./python -m pydoc select".

      By the way, as expected, pydoc shows:

      Help on method_descriptor in select.epoll:
      ---

      $ ./python -m pydoc select.epoll.register
      select.epoll.register = register(self, /, fd)
    Registers a new fd or raises an OSError if the fd is already registered.

      Looking into this, it appears to be due to the default value and not due to the newline

      I've stumbled upon two simplifications to the routines in inspect but not a fix for this

      1. bpo-20684: Remove unused inspect._signature_get_bound_param #21100
      2. gh-99815: remove unused 'invalid' sentinel value and code that checks for it in inspect.signature parsing #21104

      the following code is hit because ast.literal_eval(...) fails for the |d expression:

      cpython/Lib/inspect.py

      Lines 2069 to 2070 in 2f9ada9

      if o is invalid:
      return None

      this causes the parameter to be skipped entirely
