get function arguments

[Benny Mohr]

I have a simple function

def myFunc(a,b,c='default'):
...

How can I get the list of argumens of this function?

How can I get the list of argumens of this function?

Is this what you mean?
.... pass
.... ('a', 'b', 'c')

I don't know where (if?) the func_code attributes are documented, but you should
be able to figure them out with a little object introspection (e.g. dir or an
editor like PythonWin that does some code completion).

Thanks a lot, that's what I'm looking for

You could have asked in the interactive prompt as well

['__class__', '__cmp__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__',
'__hash__', '__init__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
'__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'co_argcount', 'co_cellvars',
'co_code', 'co_consts', 'co_filename', 'co_firstlineno', 'co_flags',
'co_freevars', 'co_lnotab', 'co_name', 'co_names', 'co_nlocals',
'co_stacksize', 'co_varnames']
There seems to be other interesting things here too:
['__call__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__',
'__get__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__',
'__name__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__',
'__setattr__', '__str__', 'func_closure', 'func_code', 'func_defaults',
'func_dict', 'func_doc', 'func_globals', 'func_name']

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. That's what I meant when I said "you should be
able to figure them out with a little object introspection (e.g. dir..." The
interactive prompt (and the dir or help function) is almost always the right
answer to find out about object attributes in Python. =)

I'm the one to say I'm sorry. Before I sent the message I read your
post like I answered, but when I read my answer it sounded completely
different to me

They're not easy to find, I'll grant you. But this table is pretty
interesting:

http://python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/inspect-types.html

OTOH, this probably *shouldn't* be too easy to find, as it's not
something you should use until you really *really* need it.

Cheers,
Terry
