inspect.getargspec for function signature

[rdagger]

Is there a way to list a function's arguments. I tried inspect.getargspec() from micropython-lib, but I get the following:

Code: Select all

>>> inspect.getargspec(my_test_function)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "inspect.py", line 37, in getargspec
NotImplementedError: This is over-dynamic function, not supported by MicroPython

getfullargspec() and signature() are also not implemented.
help() doesn't provide arguments either in MicroPython.

I assume you've read differences. I don't think there's any way to do this short of inspecting the source or reading the module docs ( ).

Thanks for your reply. I find myself checking the source frequently especially for ESP32 specific code.

[pythoncoder]

Well I agree - the ESP32 port is still "experimental" and the docs aren't what they might be. By contrast the Pyboard docs are so good I seldom need to trawl the code.

So we don't have any way to check source code of a python file after moving to dir() of a device
Import inspect would have been handy, though
