Function Documentation

default_arguments_decorator()

def python.function_class.default_arguments_decorator	(		function,
			args,
			kargs
	)

Decorates a function to give it default, positional and keyword arguments.

mimics python behavior when setting defaults in function/method arguments. arguments can be set for positional or keyword arguments.

kargs_pos contains positions of the keyword arguments.

Exceptions

A	TypeError will be raised if an argument is set as a positional and keyword argument at the same time.

Note

It might be possible to get keyword argument positional information using introspection to avoid having to specify them manually

a keyword argument default will be overwritten by a positional argument at the actual function call

this function modifies the docstring of the wrapped function to reflect the defaults.

You can't use this decorator with @, because this function has more than one argument.

arguments:

Parameters

*args	optional positional defaults
kargs_pos	dict with keyword arguments as key and their position in the argument list as value
**kargs	optional keyword defaults

Returns

new_function wrapping original function
