Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: Nick pointed me at this issue for the undeprecation of inspect.getfullargspec(). While I'm fine with the un-deprecation for compatibility reasons, I would rather the function not last beyond Python 3 un-deprecated. Nick says, though that: """ ... the undeprecation isn't a Python 2/3 issue, it's a "tuples, lists and dicts are really handy representations of things, and Python developers often prefer them to more structured objects" issue.
The modern inspect.getfullargspec implementation is a relatively thin wrapper around inspect.signature, and the only lossy part of the output transformation is that you can't tell the difference between positional-only and positional-or-keyword parameters. """ My argument is TOOWDI and as of right now there's 3 for getting parameter information for functions (of which only one is currently deprecated). I would also argue that if people want a "signature to core data structure" translation then that can be covered by a package on PyPI since even now getfullargspec() is lossy and we don't need that kind of pragmatic support in the stdlib for this. ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27172> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
