Functions are like the functions known to the Python
interpreter, with the main difference that func_code is an
EditableCode.
- Function ([func])
-
If func is not supplied, create an emtpy Function object.
If func is a tuple or list, pass it to init_tuple.
Otherwise, pass func to init_function.
- init_defaults ()
-
Set all the fields to more or less arbitrarily guessed default values.
- init_func (func)
-
Initialize all fields from func.
- make_function ()
-
Return a function to reflect the current state of the object.
- init_tuple (tup)
-
Initialise the object from the tuple tup.
- as_tuple ()
-
Return a convenient picklable (or probably even marshallable) tuple
that can be used to initialise a Function.
Once again I've lazily copied the attribute definitions from the
language reference.
- func_name
-
- __name__
-
func_name or __name__ is the function's name.
- func_doc
-
- __doc__
-
func_doc or __doc__ is the function's documentation
string, or None if unavailable.
- func_code
-
func_code is the EditableCode object representing the
compiled function body.
- func_defaults
-
func_defaults is a tuple containing default argument values
for those arguments that have defaults, or None if no arguments
have a default value.
- func_globals
-
func_globals is (a reference to) the dictionary that holds
the function's global variables -- it defines the global namespace of
the module in which the function was defined.
- method
-
If the function is in fact a method, this is the
InstanceMethod. Otherwise this attribute doesn't exist.
