How to get numpy function (ufunc) arguments

>>> import inspect
>>> import numpy as np
>>> inspect.getargspec(np.abs)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\inspect.py", line 815, in getargspec
    raise TypeError('{!r} is not a Python function'.format(func))
TypeError: <ufunc 'absolute'> is not a Python function

So inspect doesn't return arguments for numpy function, because it does not recognize it as function, while numpy doesn't seem to have helper function that would return function's arguments.

Does anyone know how to get arguments for arbitrary numpy function?

All ufuncs have the same signature. The only differences are the number of in and outputs, and those are available as 

.nin

and 

.nout
