Description

@HeinrichAD

The signature binding fails if the function contains kwarg_sources.

Reproduce

from varname import nameof

def fn(var, **kwargs):
    print(nameof(var, frame=2))
    # ...

x = 5
fn(x)       # OK
fn(x, y=6)  # Error
Traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/inspect.py", line 3219, in bind_partial
    return self._bind(args, kwargs, partial=True)

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/inspect.py", line 3201, in _bind
    raise TypeError(
TypeError: got an unexpected keyword argument 'y'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hein_f0/dev/slki-code/test.py", line 11, in <module>
    fn(x, y=6)  # Error

    raise ImproperUseError(
varname.utils.ImproperUseError: Have you specified the right `frame` or `func`?

Problem

If I am not mistaken, the issue lies in line 442:

signature = inspect.signature(func, follow_wrapped=False)
# func(y, x, c=z)
# ['y', 'x'], {'c': 'z'}
arg_sources = [
argnode_source(source, argnode, vars_only) for argnode in node.args
]
kwarg_sources = {
argnode.arg: argnode_source(source, argnode.value, vars_only)
for argnode in node.keywords
if argnode.arg is not None
}
bound_args = signature.bind_partial(*arg_sources, **kwarg_sources)

The signature here is the nameof function: <Signature (var: Any, *more_vars: Any, frame: int = 1, vars_only: bool = True) -> Union[str, Tuple[str, ...]]> and therefore does not take any kwarg_sources from the source function fn.

Workaround

None, as far as I know.

    Would you mind submitting a PR?

    To be honest, I do not know how much the following fix would destroy, but a possible fix could be:

      # <Signature (a, b, c, d=4)>
      signature = inspect.signature(func, follow_wrapped=False)
      # func(y, x, c=z)
      # ['y', 'x'], {'c': 'z'}
      arg_sources = [
          argnode_source(source, argnode, vars_only) for argnode in node.args
      ]
      kwarg_sources = {
          argnode.arg: argnode_source(source, argnode.value, vars_only)
          for argnode in node.keywords
          if argnode.arg is not None
      }
    - bound_args = signature.bind_partial(*arg_sources, **kwarg_sources)
    + bound_args = signature.bind_partial(*arg_sources, *kwarg_sources.values())
      argument_sources = bound_args.arguments

    An alternative (quick and dirty) fix, which ignores all kwargs, would be to adjust the final signature of nameof (and others):

      def nameof(
          var: Any,
          *more_vars: Any,
          frame: int = 1,
          vars_only: bool = True,
    +   **kwargs,
      ) -> Union[str, Tuple[str, ...]]:

    I could look further into it if issue #115 is solved.

    Since nameof is already deprecated, I am closing this issue.
