Let Python answer the question for you:
... good explanation of how to do this for simple functions.
Please be aware the normal way to do
You can take a dictionary of key/value pairs and pass it to a function as
keyword arguments:
def func(foo,bar):
print foo, bar
args = {'foo':1, 'bar':2}
func(**args)
will print 1 2
But what if you try passing those arguments to a function
def func2(bar,zoo=''):
print bar, zoo

Let Python answer the question for you:
def func2(bar='a', zoo='b'):
... pass
...
for name in dir(func2):
... print '%s: %s' % (name, getattr(func2, name))
Awesome, wrapping that into a function:
def getargs(func):
numArgs = func.func_code.co_argcount
names = func.func_code.co_varnames
return names[:numArgs]
short, concise, and it works :)
variables declared inside the function body are also in co_varnames
but after the arguments only it
