This appears to be an issue with my install as the code in github has fixed the problem

I installed using pip ...
python -m pip install pywin32 --upgrade

from CallTips.py in my install

        if inspect.isfunction(fob) or inspect.ismethod(fob):
            try:
                argText = inspect.formatargspec(*inspect.getfullargspec(fob))
            except:
                print("Failed to format the args")
                traceback.print_exc()

from https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/Pythonwin/pywin/idle/CallTips.py

        if inspect.isfunction(fob) or inspect.ismethod(fob):
            try:
                argText = str(inspect.signature(fob))
            except:
                print("Failed to format the args")
                traceback.print_exc()

after a condescending comment on stackoverflow, i was able to ascertain that my install was from blob305 (Nov 7, 2022) and the fix to CallTips.py was subsequent to that
