Introspecting arguments from the constructor function __init__ in Python

问题

What is a way to extract arguments from __init__ without creating new instance. The code example:

class Super:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

I am looking something like Super.__dict__.keys()type solution. Just to retrieve name argument information without adding any values. Is there such an option to do that?

回答1:

You can use inspect

>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.getargspec(Super.__init__)
ArgSpec(args=['self', 'name'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=None)
>>> 

Edit: inspect.getargspec doesn't actually create an instance of Super, see below:

import inspect

class Super:
    def __init__(self, name):
        print 'instantiated'
        self.name = name

print inspect.getargspec(Super.__init__)

This outputs:

### Run test.a ###
ArgSpec(args=['self', 'name'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=None)
>>> 

Note that instantiated never got printed.
