Also, deprecate formatargspec, formatargvalues, and getargvalues
functions. Since we are deprecating 'getfullargspec' function in
3.5 (documentation only, no DeprecationWarning), it makes sense
to also deprecate functions designed to be directly used with it.
In 3.6 we will remove 'getargsspec' function (was deprecated since
Python 3.0), and start raising DeprecationWarnings in other
'getarg*' family of functions. We can remove them in 3.7 or later.
Also, it is worth noting, that Signature API does not provide 100%
of functionality that deprecated APIs have. It is important to do
a soft deprecation of outdated APIs in 3.5 to gather users feedback,
and improve Signature object.
name, and use it in the representation of a generator (``repr(gen)``). The
default name of the generator (``__name__`` attribute) is now get from the
function instead of the code. Use ``gen.gi_code.co_name`` to get the name of
the code.
Several of the introspection changes in Python 3.4 are indirect,
where inspect module changes affected pydoc, and those in turn
affected the help builtin. This update adds versionchanged
notes in the key locations, as well as more coverage in the
What's New document (in particular, a note in the porting
section regarding the expanded domain for inspect.getfullargspec).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
- cross-references and attributions for inspect changes
- note improvements to inspect and pydoc handling of
metaclasses and dynamic attributes (courtesy of the
enum PEP)
- group all CPython implementation specific changes
into a common section
- add see also links for most of the PEPs
- fix the see also link for the release PEP
- add suitable caveats on Argument Clinic inclusion
- clarify the change to __wrapped__ handling
Order of search is now:
1. Try getattr
2. If that throws an exception, check __dict__ directly
3. If still not found, walk the mro looking for the eldest class that has
the attribute (e.g. things returned by __getattr__)
4. If none of that works (e.g. due to a buggy __dir__, __getattr__, etc.
method or missing __slot__ attribute), ignore the attribute entirely.
