Hi list, I'm wondering if there's a tool that can analyze a Python program while it runs, and generate a database with the types of arguments and return values for each function. In a way it is like a profiler, that instead of measuring how often functions are called and how long time it takes, it records the type information. So afterwards, when I'm reading the code, I can go to the database to see what data type parameter "foo" of function "bar" typically has. It would help a lot with deciphering old code.
When I googled this, I learned that this is called "type feedback", and is used (?) to give type information to a compiler to help it generate fast code. My needs are much more humble. I just want a faster way to understand undocumented code with bad naming. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.librador.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
