objinspect is a high-level wrapper around Python's built-in inspect module.
It provides a simple interface for examining Python functions and classes.
- Simplified inspection of Python objects (classes, functions, methods)
- Detailed information about parameters, return types, and docstrings
- prettydir - like dir(), but with more information and prettier output
pip install objinspect
pip install git+https://github.com/zigai/objinspect
>>> from objinspect import inspect, pdir
>>> import math
>>> inspect(math.pow)
Function(name='pow', parameters=2, description='Return x**y (x to the power of y).')
>>> inspect(math.pow).dict
{
'name': 'pow',
'parameters': [
{'name': 'x', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'default': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'description': None},
{'name': 'y', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'default': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'description': None}],
'docstring': 'Return x**y (x to the power of y).'
}
>>> inspect(inspect)
Function(name='inspect', parameters=7, description='Inspects an object and returns a structured representation of its attributes and methods.')
