inspect2

A backport of the Python 3.6 inspect module to Python 2.7-3.5.

This module was based on the code of the inspect module and its tests in the Python 3.6 standard library and modified to pass tests on earlier Python versions.

I have tried to follow these rules in writing the code:

• Minimize changes relative to the 3.6 source. This should make backporting of future changes easier.
• No support for old-style classes. Python 2 is hard enough without them.
• All functions should be available on all versions. inspect2.iscoroutinefunction() just always returns False on Python versions that don't have async def.

inspect2's Issues

Upload source distribution to PyPI

Could you please upload a source distribution of v0.1 to PyPI? We need this to use inspect2 with our internal packaging system.

sdist tests fail

There are a lot of file missing from the sdist

[   30s] ____________________ ERROR collecting test/test_inspect2.py ____________________
[   30s] ImportError while importing test module '/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/inspect2-0.1.1/test/test_inspect2.py'.
[   30s] Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.

running PyPI's check-manifest will help fix this.

Add LICENSE

To be packaged for a distro, the repository needs to include a LICENSE file.

Also it is highly desirable to include tests in the PyPI sdist, so they can be used to validate the package regularly when any dependency changes.
