inspect.isfunction() processes both inspect.isfunction(func) and
inspect.isfunction(partial(func, arg)) correctly but some other functions in the
inspect module (iscoroutinefunction, isgeneratorfunction and isasyncgenfunction)
lack this functionality. This commits adds a new check in the mentioned functions
in the inspect module so they can work correctly with arbitrarily nested partial
functions.
Previously, the predicate parameter was mentioned, but what it was to be
called with was not documented and required either trial-and-error or
looking into the source to find that it is called with the `value`, or
second item, of the full members list. This change addresses what the
predicate will receive, as well as does some light formatting to make
this clear.

* Stop using set_coroutine_wrapper in asyncio debug mode

This commit undeprecates these functions and adds a note to ignore
previous deprecation notices.
This is still useful for single source Python 2/3 code
migrating away from inspect.getargspec(), but that wasn't
clear with the documented deprecation in place.
inspect.signature now reports the implicit ``.0`` parameters generated by
the compiler for comprehension and generator expression scopes as if they
were positional-only parameters called ``implicit0``.
Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
collections.abc.Awaitable and collections.abc.Coroutine no longer
use __instancecheck__ hook to detect generator-based coroutines.
inspect.isawaitable() can be used to detect generator-based coroutines
and to distinguish them from regular generator objects.
isawaitable() was added before collections.abc.Awaitable; now,
with Awaitable, it is no longer needed (we don't have ishashable()
or isiterable() methods in the inspect module either).
Summary of changes:
1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.
As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
no longer applied to coroutines.
2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the
interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.
[The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]
3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to
allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.
Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:
(o)
GET_ITER
LOAD_CONST
YIELD_FROM
Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.
The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
a coroutine object is invalid.
4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).
5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
should really be tailored for checking for native types.
6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports
any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
not work for all types of coroutines.
7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
to raise clearer messages for coroutines:
Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
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.
