Suppose that f is an object whose type is 'function'.
Is there a way to find out f's list of formal arguments? The reason for this is that I'm trying to write a decorator and I'd like the wrapper to be able to check the number of arguments passed. Specifically, I'd like the wrapper to look as shown below: def _wrap(f): def wrapper(self, *params): n_expected = len(f.FORMAL_ARGS) n_received = len(params) if n_received is not n_expected: raise RuntimeError("Wrong number of arguments passed " "to %s" % f.__name__) return self.send_jsonrpc_request(f.__name__, params) return wrapper ...but I'm missing something like the hypothetical attribute FORMAL_ARGS above. TIA!
