Knowing length of input argument of a function in python -

let's have function:

def func(x, p): return p[0] * x ** 2 + p[1] * x + p[2] 

and now, can information function using inspect:

import inspect args, varargs, varkw, defaults = inspect.getargspec(func) 

but know have 2 arguments, instead of information on each argument (whether it's scalar or else).

just making sure - theoretically, there way can know minimum length of tuple p used in function?

thank you!

the answer no.

firstly can't assume type (let alone size of argument).

secondly, there no way tell length, because it's supposed arbitrary , function may nothing input @ all.

if want similar, try use *l variable-length arguments. there **d arbitrary map (named arguments).
