    Research direction

    Reproduce the discrepancy described by the uploaded object_init.py file and inspect.getfullargspec(object.init) first. The issue does not state which returned value is expected or name a CPython test, so confirm that expectation with maintainers before adding a focused regression test and making the behavior consistent.
