Python 3.8: DeprecationWarning: Use inspect.signature() instead of inspect.getfullargspec()

See original GitHub issue

A lot of Fedora packages, when rebuilt with Python 3.8.0a4 fail to collect tests with pytest:

+ /usr/bin/python3 -m pytest -v --pyargs numpy -k 'not big_arrays and not large_archive and not test_highest_available_pickle_protocol and not test_binomial and not test_hypergeometric and not test_scalar_exception_propagation'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

E   DeprecationWarning: Use inspect.signature() instead of inspect.getfullargspec()

Now I don’t know if treating this DeprecationWarning as error is the default pytest behavior or specific projects (mis)configuration, but the warning comes from pluggy. We still have 0.9.0, but I see getfullargspec() even in master.

The discussion seems ongoing. I’d say that migrating to inspect.signature() is still a good way to go.

@nicoddemus You’ve assigned this to yourself. I’ll try to test the above code and submit a PR if it works. Let me know if you are already in the middle of the same.
