Hi all,
Below is a basic threading program. The basic I idea is that I have a
function which needs to be run using a queue of data. Early on I
specified my function needed to only accept basic parameters ( no
postional *args or *kwargs ) but now I am re-writing it and I want to
accept these. Is there anyway to determine what parameters are needed
by a given function and format the arguments given appropriately. My
problem is that I feel my "Kludge"sec tion is just that - a kludge.
While it works for most cases it won't work for all (Try running this
on function4 for example...). I guess I have a problem with multiple
if statements and I think it should just look to see what parameters
are accepted and format them appropriately. Thoughts?
If I am really screwing this up - please help me get back on the right
track. I appreciate all of the help I get and it's great to learn from
the experts.

Yes - using inspect.getargs pec. I don't have example code at hand yet,
but it's not really complicated.

This is far more work than you need. Push an (args, kwargs) tuple into
your arguments queue and call self.function(* args, **kwargs).

No see I tried that and that won't work.
I'm assuming what you are referring to is this (effectively)
Q.put(((),{a:"f oo", b:"bar}))
input = Q.get()
self.function( *input[0], **input[1])
This will obviously fail if several conditions aren't met - hence the
kludge. Am I missing something here?

Assuming that the caller correctly pushes arguments, how can this fail?

Viola!! Hey this works!! Now I have modified my code to do this - way
cool (still kind of a mess though)
args, varargs, varkw, defs =
inspect.getargs pec(self.functi on)
# Deal with just some args
if varargs is None and varkw is None:
result=self.fun ction(input)
# Deal with *args
if varkw is None and varargs is not None and len(args) >
0:
result=self.fun ction(input[0:-1], *input[-1])
if varkw is None and varargs is not None and len(args)==0:
result=self.fun ction(*input[0])
# Deal with *kwargs
if varkw is not None and varargs is not None and len(args)
0:
result=self.fun ction(input[0:-2], *input[-2],
**input[-1])
if varkw is not None and varargs is not None and
len(args)==0:
result=self.fun ction(*input[-2], **input[-1])
if varkw is not None and varargs is None and len(args) >
0:
result=self.fun ction(input[0:-1], **input[-1])
if varkw is not None and varargs is None and len(args) ==
0:
result=self.fun ction(**input[0])
Now this worked until I threw a function which looked like this
def func5( input1, input2, input3 )
pass
So it barfed because of this..
if varargs is None and varkw is None:
result=self.fun ction(input)
but all of the parameters were lumped as a list so input1 contained
them all...
A small tweak turned into this..
if varargs is None and varkw is None:
if isinstance(inpu t, tuple):
result=self.fun ction(*input)
else:
result=self.fun ction(input)
But now I suppose I need to do this for all of them but that will
break my other logic...
Yuck - I have to be missing something here.

Good - It looks like I am the one who is clueless..
If I do this:
def funcA(input):

Then I run the code
for x in range(lod):myQ. put(random.rand om())
myQ.put(None)
a=WorkerB(reque stQ=myQ, function=funcA) .start()
This will fail because there isn't an input[1]

Thats because you put the wrong value into the arguments queue.
For this use case, we define the arguments queue as being a source of 2-tuples,
with an argument list and a kwargs dict. So you have to do:
for x in range(lod):
myQ.put((random .random(), {}))
(don't be afraid of indentation and newlines - I started to modify
your source to provide a working example and got frustrated
reformatting it so I could read it)
Since you've now defined the external interface for your system (pass
it a queue of argument, kwargs tuples and a callable) it's the
responsibility of the caller to correctly satisfy that interface.

Is this meant to be just a programming exercise to see how clever you can
be? It's okay if it is, but if it is meant to be something useful,
well, I can't imagine ever being in a situation where I know I have
to pass arguments (say) 4, 5, "Hello", and None to a function, but not
know whether they should be positional arguments or keyword arguments.
Or, to put it another way... the usual procedure is for the developer
(that's you) to read the function API to find out what arguments the
function expects, and how it expects them, and then the developer
modifies the parameters used accordingly.
