Hi all,

I was going through the checkers/typecheck.py for reference but could not understand it concretely.

I am basically unable to find how to retrieve arguments from Astng Function node.

I am using visit_function() inside a checker class to visit all function nodes but not able to get list of arguments(and varargs and kwargs too).

Also, is there a function which returns <type function> if we pass Astng Function node to it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If you already have the checker, you can add it in the
load-plugins entry from the pylintrc file, as in
`load-plugins=qualified plugin path`.
We don't have this check builtin right now, but it's something
that could be useful, so if you could send it upstream, that would be really
awesome.

Thanks,

Claudiu
