    How can i get the parameternames of a non documented function ?

    Hello

    I import a module (wrapped from c code) and have no documentation of
    it. How can i find out the name of the parameters / head of the
    functions ?

    The docstring is empty and help return only (...).

      You can't. Sorry.

      (Well, short of reading the C source or disassembling the built
      object...)

          Is that correct?

          Couldn't you use inspect.getargs pec(func) ?

          It doesn't say you can't use it on wrapped C code.

              Try it.

              Well, that means the docs are wrong.

              Or here's an even simpler indicator of how much C++ sucks: Print
              out the C++ Public Review Document. Have someone hold it about
              three feet above your head and then drop it. Thus you will be
              enlightened. -- Thant Tessman
