+Introducing funcsigs
+====================
+
+The Funcsigs Package
+--------------------
+
+``funcsigs`` is a backport of the `PEP 362`_ function signature features from
+Python 3.3's `inspect`_ module. The backport is compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7
+as well as 3.3 and up. 3.2 was supported by version 0.4, but with setuptools and
+pip no longer supporting 3.2, we cannot make any statement about 3.2
+compatibility.
+
+Compatibility
+`````````````
+
+The ``funcsigs`` backport has been tested against:
+
+* CPython 2.6
+* CPython 2.7
+* CPython 3.3
+* CPython 3.4
+* CPython 3.5
+* CPython nightlies
+* PyPy and PyPy3(currently failing CI)
+
+Continuous integration testing is provided by `Travis CI`_.
+
+Under Python 2.x there is a compatibility issue when a function is assigned to
+the ``__wrapped__`` property of a class after it has been constructed.
+Similiarily there under PyPy directly passing the ``__call__`` method of a
+builtin is also a compatibility issues. Otherwise the functionality is
+believed to be uniform between both Python2 and Python3.
+
+Issues
+``````
+
+Source code for ``funcsigs`` is hosted on `GitHub`_. Any bug reports or feature
+requests can be made using GitHub's `issues system`_. |build_status| |coverage|
+
+Example
+-------
+
+To obtain a `Signature` object, pass the target function to the
+``funcsigs.signature`` function.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> from funcsigs import signature
+ >>> def foo(a, b=None, *args, **kwargs):
+ ... pass
+ ...
+ >>> sig = signature(foo)
+ >>> sig
+ <funcsigs.Signature object at 0x...>
+ >>> sig.parameters
+ OrderedDict([('a', <Parameter at 0x... 'a'>), ('b', <Parameter at 0x... 'b'>), ('args', <Parameter at 0x... 'args'>), ('kwargs', <Parameter at 0x... 'kwargs'>)])
+ >>> sig.return_annotation
+ <class 'funcsigs._empty'>
+
+Introspecting callables with the Signature object
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+ This section of documentation is a direct reproduction of the Python
+ standard library documentation for the inspect module.
+
+The Signature object represents the call signature of a callable object and its
+return annotation. To retrieve a Signature object, use the :func:`signature`
+function.
+
+.. function:: signature(callable)
+
+ Return a :class:`Signature` object for the given ``callable``::
+
+ >>> from funcsigs import signature
+ >>> def foo(a, *, b:int, **kwargs):
+ ... pass
+
+ >>> sig = signature(foo)
+
+ >>> str(sig)
+ '(a, *, b:int, **kwargs)'
+
+ >>> str(sig.parameters['b'])
+ 'b:int'
+
+ >>> sig.parameters['b'].annotation
+ <class 'int'>
+
+ Accepts a wide range of python callables, from plain functions and classes to
+ :func:`functools.partial` objects.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Some callables may not be introspectable in certain implementations of
+ Python. For example, in CPython, built-in functions defined in C provide
+ no metadata about their arguments.
+
+
+.. class:: Signature
+
+ A Signature object represents the call signature of a function and its return
+ annotation. For each parameter accepted by the function it stores a
+ :class:`Parameter` object in its :attr:`parameters` collection.
+
+ Signature objects are *immutable*. Use :meth:`Signature.replace` to make a
+ modified copy.
+
+ .. attribute:: Signature.empty
+
+ A special class-level marker to specify absence of a return annotation.
+
+ .. attribute:: Signature.parameters
+
+ An ordered mapping of parameters' names to the corresponding
+ :class:`Parameter` objects.
+
+ .. attribute:: Signature.return_annotation
+
+ The "return" annotation for the callable. If the callable has no "return"
+ annotation, this attribute is set to :attr:`Signature.empty`.
+
+ .. method:: Signature.bind(*args, **kwargs)
+
+ Create a mapping from positional and keyword arguments to parameters.
+ Returns :class:`BoundArguments` if ``*args`` and ``**kwargs`` match the
+ signature, or raises a :exc:`TypeError`.
+
+ .. method:: Signature.bind_partial(*args, **kwargs)
+
+ Works the same way as :meth:`Signature.bind`, but allows the omission of
+ some required arguments (mimics :func:`functools.partial` behavior.)
+ Returns :class:`BoundArguments`, or raises a :exc:`TypeError` if the
+ passed arguments do not match the signature.
+
+ .. method:: Signature.replace(*[, parameters][, return_annotation])
+
+ Create a new Signature instance based on the instance replace was invoked
+ on. It is possible to pass different ``parameters`` and/or
+ ``return_annotation`` to override the corresponding properties of the base
+ signature. To remove return_annotation from the copied Signature, pass in
+ :attr:`Signature.empty`.
+
+ ::
+
+ >>> def test(a, b):
+ ... pass
+ >>> sig = signature(test)
+ >>> new_sig = sig.replace(return_annotation="new return anno")
+ >>> str(new_sig)
+ "(a, b) -> 'new return anno'"
+
+
+.. class:: Parameter
+
+ Parameter objects are *immutable*. Instead of modifying a Parameter object,
+ you can use :meth:`Parameter.replace` to create a modified copy.
+
+ .. attribute:: Parameter.empty
+
+ A special class-level marker to specify absence of default values and
+ annotations.
+
+ .. attribute:: Parameter.name
+
+ The name of the parameter as a string. Must be a valid python identifier
+ name (with the exception of ``POSITIONAL_ONLY`` parameters, which can have
+ it set to ``None``).
+
+ .. attribute:: Parameter.default
+
+ The default value for the parameter. If the parameter has no default
+ value, this attribute is set to :attr:`Parameter.empty`.
+
+ .. attribute:: Parameter.annotation
+
+ The annotation for the parameter. If the parameter has no annotation,
+ this attribute is set to :attr:`Parameter.empty`.
+
+ .. attribute:: Parameter.kind
+
+ Describes how argument values are bound to the parameter. Possible values
+ (accessible via :class:`Parameter`, like ``Parameter.KEYWORD_ONLY``):
+
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+ | Name | Meaning |
+ +========================+==============================================+
+ | *POSITIONAL_ONLY* | Value must be supplied as a positional |
+ | | argument. |
+ | | |
+ | | Python has no explicit syntax for defining |
+ | | positional-only parameters, but many built-in|
+ | | and extension module functions (especially |
+ | | those that accept only one or two parameters)|
+ | | accept them. |
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+ | *POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD*| Value may be supplied as either a keyword or |
+ | | positional argument (this is the standard |
+ | | binding behaviour for functions implemented |
+ | | in Python.) |
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+ | *VAR_POSITIONAL* | A tuple of positional arguments that aren't |
+ | | bound to any other parameter. This |
+ | | corresponds to a ``*args`` parameter in a |
+ | | Python function definition. |
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+ | *KEYWORD_ONLY* | Value must be supplied as a keyword argument.|
+ | | Keyword only parameters are those which |
+ | | appear after a ``*`` or ``*args`` entry in a |
+ | | Python function definition. |
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+ | *VAR_KEYWORD* | A dict of keyword arguments that aren't bound|
+ | | to any other parameter. This corresponds to a|
+ | | ``**kwargs`` parameter in a Python function |
+ | | definition. |
+ +------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+
+ Example: print all keyword-only arguments without default values::
+
+ >>> def foo(a, b, *, c, d=10):
+ ... pass
+
+ >>> sig = signature(foo)
+ >>> for param in sig.parameters.values():
+ ... if (param.kind == param.KEYWORD_ONLY and
+ ... param.default is param.empty):
+ ... print('Parameter:', param)
+ Parameter: c
+
+ .. method:: Parameter.replace(*[, name][, kind][, default][, annotation])
+
+ Create a new Parameter instance based on the instance replaced was invoked
+ on. To override a :class:`Parameter` attribute, pass the corresponding
+ argument. To remove a default value or/and an annotation from a
+ Parameter, pass :attr:`Parameter.empty`.
+
+ ::
+
+ >>> from funcsigs import Parameter
+ >>> param = Parameter('foo', Parameter.KEYWORD_ONLY, default=42)
+ >>> str(param)
+ 'foo=42'
+
+ >>> str(param.replace()) # Will create a shallow copy of 'param'
+ 'foo=42'
+
+ >>> str(param.replace(default=Parameter.empty, annotation='spam'))
+ "foo:'spam'"
+
+
+.. class:: BoundArguments
+
+ Result of a :meth:`Signature.bind` or :meth:`Signature.bind_partial` call.
+ Holds the mapping of arguments to the function's parameters.
+
+ .. attribute:: BoundArguments.arguments
+
+ An ordered, mutable mapping (:class:`collections.OrderedDict`) of
+ parameters' names to arguments' values. Contains only explicitly bound
+ arguments. Changes in :attr:`arguments` will reflect in :attr:`args` and
+ :attr:`kwargs`.
+
+ Should be used in conjunction with :attr:`Signature.parameters` for any
+ argument processing purposes.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Arguments for which :meth:`Signature.bind` or
+ :meth:`Signature.bind_partial` relied on a default value are skipped.
+ However, if needed, it is easy to include them.
+
+ ::
+
+ >>> def foo(a, b=10):
+ ... pass
+
+ >>> sig = signature(foo)
+ >>> ba = sig.bind(5)
+
+ >>> ba.args, ba.kwargs
+ ((5,), {})
+
+ >>> for param in sig.parameters.values():
+ ... if param.name not in ba.arguments:
+ ... ba.arguments[param.name] = param.default
+
+ >>> ba.args, ba.kwargs
+ ((5, 10), {})
+
+
+ .. attribute:: BoundArguments.args
+
+ A tuple of positional arguments values. Dynamically computed from the
+ :attr:`arguments` attribute.
+
+ .. attribute:: BoundArguments.kwargs
+
+ A dict of keyword arguments values. Dynamically computed from the
+ :attr:`arguments` attribute.
+
+ The :attr:`args` and :attr:`kwargs` properties can be used to invoke
+ functions::
+
+ def test(a, *, b):
+ ...
+
+ sig = signature(test)
+ ba = sig.bind(10, b=20)
+ test(*ba.args, **ba.kwargs)
+
+
