Inspect or Gadget

Explore the power of introspection in Python through this 30-minute EuroPython 2017 conference talk by Hugues Lerebours and Renaud Bauvin. Delve into the often-overlooked introspection tools provided by the Python Standard Library, with a focus on the 'inspect' module. Learn how to identify generators, recover function source code, and obtain function signatures. Discover practical use cases from the speakers' experiences at Criteo, and gain insights into the potential benefits of introspection for developers. Understand the available tools, their outputs, and how to apply them effectively in your coding practice. Cover topics such as syntax, documentation, parameter extraction, type loading, module importing, and signature bundling. Conclude with important warnings and considerations when using introspection techniques.
