If the function has a func_code object you can try this approach,
I have never use it myself and there probably is better ways.


Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.
>>> def foo(bar,bar2):
...     print "foobar"
...
>>> foo.func_code.co_varnames
('bar', 'bar2')



I think this will only work for functions written in python, and not
extensions written in C (atleast thats what my brain thinks).
