New submission from madan ram: I found that it will be useful to show the list of function arguments using inspect module. When the function executed by the user in interpreter as "TypeError".
ex: - >>def foo(a,b=4,c="hello"): ... print a,b,c >>foo() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: foo() takes at least 2 arguments (0 given) Rather the displaying like above it is will be much more readable to show as below. >>foo() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: foo() takes at least 1 arguments args=['a', 'b', 'c'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(4, 'hello') (0 given) This will be advantageous when the user has forgotten what parameter to use for builtin function when working offline. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 204569 nosy: eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, gpolo, madan.ram priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: adding an feature to python interpreter versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
