Removed official support for python versions <3.9. These versions will not run in CI anymore.
Fixed RuntimeError in tests when running on python 3.14. Added python 3.14 to CI. Fixes #112

1.15.6 - compatibility fix¶

Fixed issue with legacy python 2.7 and 3.5. Fixes #110

1.15.5 - yanked version¶

This version was yanked as the fix declared in the changelog was not actually active on the version deployed on PyPi

1.15.4 - Python 3.13 official support¶

Python 3.13 is now supported. PR #108 and PR #104 by mgorny

1.15.3 - bugfix¶

Fixed SyntaxError: invalid syntax happening when the default value of one argument of the created function is a subclass of a basic primitive. Fixes #98. PR #99 by moskupols.

1.15.2 - bugfix¶

Fixed SyntaxError happening when the name of a native coroutine function to create contains 'return'. Fixes #96.

1.15.1 - bugfixes¶

Fixed ValueError: Invalid co_name happening on python 2 when the name of a function to create starts or ends with _ or contains a double __ . Fixes #91

1.15.0 - More PEP-compliant `wraps`¶

wraps now always sets the __wrapped__ attribute, and also sets the __signature__ attribute when the signature changes, as specified by PEP 362. PR #86 by lucaswiman.

1.14.0 - Support for lambda functions¶

create_wrapper, create_function, wraps and with_signature now support lambda functions. They also accept a new parameter co_name to define the name to be used in the compiled code. PR #80 by andrewcleveland.

1.13.1 - Fixed regression with generators in python 3.5¶

Fixed an issue where using partial on a generator function in python 3.5 was raising a SyntaxError. Fixed #79

1.13.0 - Support for async generator functions¶

async generator functions are now supported (See PEP525). Fixed #77. PR#78 by broglep-work.

1.12.1 - Bugfix¶

Fixed TypeError when a func attribute is present on the function provided to create_function. Fixed #76

1.12.0 - Refactoring and consistency improvement¶

Fixed partial so that :
when no argument is provided, it is equivalent to wraps(f)(f). That is, the __wrapped__ attribute is set. Fixed #73
it sets the func attribute just as functools.partial does. Fixed #75
Removed pytest-cases dependency as it was a circular one. Fixed #68
Now using flake8 for qualimetry and genbadge for badges. Fixed #71
Restructured project so that tests are truly independent, to ease rpm/apt/etc. packaging. Fixed #69

1.11.3 - bugfix with default values representable but not evaluable¶

When a default value v in a signature is representable but its eval(repr(v)) raises an exception, created signatures would raise an exception instead of automatically protecting the symbol. PR #67 by gcalmettes.

1.11.2 - bugfix with chained `@wraps`¶

Fixed issue where @wraps does not remove the __wrapped__ attribute when it wraps an already-wrapped function, and modifies its signature. Fixes #66

1.11.1 - bugfix¶

Fixed a bug happening when trying to generate a function where float('inf') is used as a default value. Fixes #63.

1.11.0 - `partial` bugfixes and improvements + new `wraps` parameters¶

@wraps now has new arguments prepend_arg and append_arg to quickly prepend or append a new parameter to a function signature. Fixes #65
add_signature_parameters can now receive string parameter names in its first and last arguments.
Improved generated docstring for partial with better support for preset positional args.
partial's behaviour is now aligned with the one in functools.partial in terms of arguments order and kind. Fixes #64
Bug fix: passing preset positional arguments to partial does not wipe out the rest of the signature any more. Fixes #62

1.10.2 - Github actions test¶

Technical release: validation of the new github actions workflow.

1.10.1 - Github actions migration¶

Technical release: validation of the new github actions workflow for PyPi deployment.

1.10.0 - Removing arguments easily in `@wraps`¶

@wraps now offers a remove_params argument allowing one to remove an argument from the exposed signature, typically to create and inject it in the wrapper. Fixes #60

1.9.5 - Bugfix with `partial` when f has no args¶

partial can now be used to create a copy of a function with no args. Fixed ValueError: Cannot preset 0 positional args, function case_second has only 0 args.. Fixed #59

1.9.4 - removed six dependency¶

Removed unused six dependency. Note: this version will ship in conda forge.

1.9.3 - Minor compatibility fixes with functools.partial¶

@wraps can now be used to wrap a functools.partial. Fixed #57
create_function now correctly reuses information from the partialized function if a functools.partial is used as the implementation.
create_function now raises a more explicit error when no func_name can be found.
makefun.partial now generates a signature that is more consistent with functools.partial. Fixes #58

1.9.2 - packaging improvements¶

packaging improvements: set the "universal wheel" flag to 1, and cleaned up the setup.py. In particular removed dependency to six for setup and added py.typed file, as well as set the zip_safe flag to False. Removed tests folder from package. Fixes #54

1.9.1 - `@compile_fun` bugfix¶

Fixed OSError: could not get source code or IOError: could not get source code when @compile_fun is used on a function that depends on an already-compiled function. Fixed #51

1.9.0 - `@compile_fun` improvements, bugfix and better exception¶

@compile_fun: added capability to disable recursive compilation (recurse arg) , and to exclude some names from compilation (except_names arg). Fixed #49 and #50

Fixed issue ValueError: Cell is empty with @compile_fun. Fixed #48

Now raising an UndefinedSymbolError when a symbol is not known at compilation time. One step towards #47

1.8.0 - new `@compile_fun` goodie¶

New goodie @compile_fun decorator to compile a function so that it can not be navigated to using the debugger. Fixes #46

1.7.0 - minor goodies update¶

add_signature_parameters now accepts that one specifies a custom index where to insert the new parameters.

1.6.11 - Added version attribute¶

Added __version__ attribute to comply with PEP396, following this guide. Fixes #45.

1.6.10 - Fixed dependencies 2¶

Fixed six dependency: also declared as a setup dependency.

1.6.9 - Fixed dependencies¶

Added missing six dependency explicitly.

1.6.8 - Improved performance¶

Improved performance of inner method get_signature_string (used by all entry points) after profiling.

1.6.7 - Increased tolerance to function signatures in python 2¶

In python 2 some libraries such as attrs can modify the annotations manually, making signature return a string representation that is not compliant with the language version. This raised a SyntaxError in previous versions. The new version silently removes all these annotations in python versions that do not support them. Fixes #39.

1.6.6 - Bug fix¶

Fixed yet another nasty varpositional-related bug :). Fixes #38.

1.6.5 - Bug fix¶

Fixed NameError in case of unknown symbols in type hints. Fixes #37.

1.6.4 - Bug fix and minor improvement¶

Fixed PEP8 error in source code. Fixes #35.
Now string signatures can contain a colon. Fixes #36

1.6.3 - Bug fix with type hints in signature¶

Fixed bug when the return type annotation of the function to create contains non-locally available type hints. Fixes #33.

1.6.2 - Bug fix with type hints in signature¶

Fixed bug when the signature of the function to create contains non-locally available type hints. Fixes #32.

1.6.1 - `with_partial` and `partial` minor bug fix¶

Fixed partial to support missing and empty docstring. Fixes #31.

1.6.0 - added `with_partial` and `partial`¶

New method partial that behaves like functools.partial, and equivalent decorator @with_partial. Fixes #30.

1.5.1 - bug fix¶

add_signature_parameters now correctly inserts parameters in the right order when they are prepended (using first=). Fixed #29.

1.5.0 - Major refactoring and bugfixes¶

Function creation API:

renamed all handler into impl for clarity. Fixes #27.
renamed addsource and addhandler arguments as add_source and add_impl respectively, for consistency
signatures can not be provided as a callable anymore - that was far too confusing. If the reference signature is a callable, then use @wraps or create_wrapper, because that's probably what you want to do (= reuse not only the signature but also all metadata). Fixes #26.
the function name is now optional in signatures provided as string.
now setting __qualname__ attribute
default function name, qualname, doc and module name are the ones from func_impl in create_function and @with_signature, and are the ones from the wrapped function in create_wrapper and @wraps as intuitively expected. Fixes #28.

Wrappers:

@wraps and create_wrapper now offer a new_sig argument. In that case the __wrapped__ attribute is not set. Fixes #25.
@wraps and create_wrapper now correctly preserve the __dict__ and other metadata from the wrapped item. Fixes #24

1.4.0 - Non-representable default values are now handled correctly¶

When a non-representable default value was used in the signature to generate, the code failed with a SyntaxError. This case is now correctly handled, by storing the corresponding variable in the generated function's context. Fixes #23.

1.3.0 - Aliases for signature-preserving wrapper scenarios¶

Now providing a @wraps, equivalent of functools.wraps; and a create_wrapper equivalent of functools.update_wrapper. Fixes #21
@with_signature now does not override the __name__ when signature is provided as a function. Fixes #22
add_signature_parameters now accepts that parameters are provided as single elements (not necessarily iterables)
Updated documentation

1.2.0 - `@with_signature` supports `None`¶

None can be used as the desired signature of @with_signature. This indicated that the user does not want to create a new function but only wants to update the metadata. Fixes #20.

1.1.2 - Fixes¶

Fixed isgeneratorfunction for old python versions, see decorator#63.

Python<3.3-specific function body is now not loaded at all if not needed.

1.1.1 - `@with_signature` fix¶

inject_as_first_arg was missing from @with_signature, added it. Fixed #18.

1.1.0 - Support for generators and coroutines¶

Now create_function and @with_signature create the same kind of function than the handler. So if it is a generator, a generator-based coroutine, or an async coroutine, the generated function will adapt. Fixes #6.

1.0.2 - Fixed `@with_signature`¶

Now a string signature can be provided to @with_signature without problem. Fixed #17.

1.0.1 - minor: fixed PyPi doc¶

1.0.0 - New parameters, new goodie, and bugfix¶

@with_signature :

now exposes all options of create_function. Fixed #12.
now correctly sets the module name by default. Fixes #13
now accepts None as the new func_signature to declare that the signature is identical to the decorated function. This can be handy to just change the docstring or module name of a function for example. Fixes #15

create_function and @with_signature:

New module_name parameter to override the module name. Fixes #14
the handler is now available as a field of the generated function (under __func_impl__). New addhandler parameter (default: True) controls this behaviour. Fixes #16

Misc:

New goodie to manipulate signatures: add_signature_parameters.
Fixed dependencies for documentation auto-build.

0.5.0 - New helper function, and bugfix¶

New helper function remove_signature_parameters.

Fixed issue with @with_signature when argument is a Signature. Fixes #11

0.4.0 - New `@with_signature` decorator, and `create_function` accepts functions¶

New decorator @with_signature to change the signature of a callable. Fixes #3

create_function now accepts that a function be passed as a signature template. Fixes #10

0.3.0 - Ability to generate functions from `Signature`¶

Functions can now be created from a Signature object, in addition to string signatures. This unlocks many useful use cases, among easily creating function wrappers. Note: the inner function that provides this feature is get_signature_from_string. Fixes #8

Improved design by getting rid of the regular expression parser to check parameters definition. This assumes that the compiler will correctly raise exceptions when a string signature is not correct, and that inspect.signature or funcsigs.signature works correctly at detecting all the parameter kinds and annotations on the resulting function. It seems like a fair assumption... Fixes #9.

0.2.0 - Various new features and improvements¶

create_function:

create_function does not require users to prepend "def " to the signature anymore. Fixed #5
Return annotations are now supported. Fixes #4.
Type hint as comments are supported but the generated function loses the annotations because inspect.signature loses the annotation too in that case. Fixes #7
Variable-length arguments such as *args and **kwargs are now properly handled. Fixes #2
Handler functions can now receive the dynamically created function as first argument, by using create_function(func_signature, func_handler, inject_as_first_arg=True). Fixes #1
Renamed _call_ into _func_impl_ in the generated code.
