How can I programmatically access the default argument values of a method in Python? For example, in the following
def test(arg1='Foo'):
pass
how can I access the string 'Foo' inside test?
They are stored in
test.func_defaults(python 2) and intest.__defaults__(python 3).As @Friedrich reminds me, Python 3 has “keyword only” arguments, and for those the defaults are stored in
function.__kwdefaults__
