Nick Coghlan added the comment: I've also come to agree with Raymond that the repr may not be the best place for this additional information, and have updated the issue title accordingly.
For example, as one possible alternative, we might be able to put something in the inspect module (e.g. "inspect.callable_info()") that's a higher level alternative to "dis.code_info()". The information displayed could potentially include: - the object's repr - the str() of the callable's signature (presented with the name or qualname if it has one) - the names and current repr of any captured closure variables More controversially, it might include an inferred return type annotation when there's no explicit annotation to display (defaulting to "typing.Any", but potentially more explicit if it's possible to tell from the code object flags that calling it will return a Coroutine or Generator) ---------- title: Expose closure & generator status in function repr() -> Better expose closure, generator & coroutine status of functions _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24056> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
