This module encapsulates the interface provided by the internal special attributes (func_*, co_*, im_*, tb_*, etc.) in a friendlier fashion. It also provides some help for examining source code and class layout. Here are some of the useful functions provided by this module: ismodule(), isclass(), ismethod(), isfunction(), istraceback(), isframe(), iscode(), isbuiltin(), isroutine() - check object types getmembers() - get members of an object that satisfy a given condition getfile(), getsourcefile(), getsource() - find an object's source code getdoc(), getcomments() - get documentation on an object getmodule() - determine the module that an object came from getclasstree() - arrange classes so as to represent their hierarchy getargspec(), getargvalues() - get info about function arguments formatargspec(), formatargvalues() - format an argument spec getouterframes(), getinnerframes() - get info about frames currentframe() - get the current stack frame stack(), trace() - get info about frames on the stack or in a traceback """ # This module is in the public domain.
