How can i get the parameternames of a non documented function ?

[mzo]

Hello

I import a module (wrapped from c code) and have no documentation of
it. How can i find out the name of the parameters / head of the
functions ?

The docstring is empty and help return only (...).

You can't. Sorry.

(Well, short of reading the C source or disassembling the built
object...)

Is that correct?

Couldn't you use inspect.getargspec(func) ?

It doesn't say you can't use it on wrapped C code.

Try it.

Well, that means the docs are wrong.

Or here's an even simpler indicator of how much C++ sucks: Print
out the C++ Public Review Document. Have someone hold it about
three feet above your head and then drop it. Thus you will be
enlightened. -- Thant Tessman
