From the documentation of inspect.signature it seems we should never have a RuntimeError:

Raises ValueError if no signature can be provided, and TypeError if that type of object is not supported.

The easiest thing to do is just turn the RuntimeError into a ValueError... but I'll take a deeper look and see if I can actually fix this.
