New submission from Veith Röthlingshöfer <veit...@gmail.com>:

When creating a dataclass with a default that is a field with a default 
factory, the factory is not correctly resolved in cls.__init__.__defaults__. It 
evaluates to the __repr__ of dataclasses._HAS_DEFAULT_FACTORY_CLASS, which is 
"<factory>".

The expected behavior would be to have a value of whatever the default factory 
produces as a default.

This causes issues for example when using 
inspect.BoundParameters.apply_defaults() on the __init__ of such a dataclass.

Code to reproduce:

```
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Any, Dict


@dataclass()
class Test:
    a: int
    b: Dict[Any, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)

print(Test.__init__.__defaults__)  # <factory>
```

The affected packages are on a high-level dataclasses, on a lower level the 
issue is in the builtin __function.__defaults__.
