objinspect 1.0.0

A high-level library for Python object inspection

objinspect

objinspect is a high-level wrapper around Python's built-in inspect module. It provides a simple interface for examining Python functions and classes.

Features

• Inspect functions, methods, and classes with a consistent API
• Access signatures, parameters, return annotations, and docstrings
• prettydir (alias: pdir) for a richer dir()-style view

Installation

From PyPI

pip install objinspect

uv add objinspect

From source

pip install git+https://github.com/zigai/objinspect

uv add git+https://github.com/zigai/objinspect

Examples

>>> from objinspect import inspect
>>> import math
>>> inspect(math.pow)
Function(name='pow', parameters=2, description='Return x**y (x to the power of y).')

>>> inspect(math.pow).dict
{
   'name': 'pow',
   'parameters': [
      {'name': 'x', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'default': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'description': None},
      {'name': 'y', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'default': <class 'inspect._empty'>, 'description': None}],
   'docstring': 'Return x**y (x to the power of y).'
}

>>> inspect(inspect)
Function(name='inspect', parameters=8, description='Inspects an object and returns a structured representation of its attributes and methods.')
