Can't show function signature for Python about tagbar HOT 5 CLOSED

This is a limitation of ctags, it unfortunately doesn't report the function signatures so I can't show them in Tagbar. I thought about fixing ctags once I have some time, but I'm not sure how soon that would be.

The current development version of ctags now correctly reports function signatures for Python. So you can either install the development version or wait until a new stable version gets released, and it will work in Tagbar without any other changes needed.

Hey @majutsushi, this issue seems to have become relevant again. On macOS 10.12.1 with Neovim, function signatures for Python & Ruby (Tested Java and that worked) don't show up. But here too, pressing space shows the line correctly. Could this be an issue on my end? I tried using the ctags output alone as described in tagbar-issues, but I really couldn't notice anything special about it.

As far as I can see nothing should have really changed here, it's working fine for me with both Exuberant Ctags and Universal Ctags. Neovim shouldn't make a difference there, and I've tried it with that as well. My only guess would be that you're using the latest release of Exuberant Ctags instead of the development version.

The display when showing space is generated differently and is not really applicable for the normal Tagbar window, it just happens to look similar for Python.

@majutsushi You're right, that was indeed the issue. Thanks a lot for your time!
