>>> def f(a, b=1, c={}, *args, **kwargs):
        pass

>>> inspect.getargspec(f)
(['a', 'b', 'c'], 'args', 'kwargs', (1, {}))

>>> print inspect.getargspec.__doc__
Get the names and default values of a function's arguments.

    A tuple of four things is returned: (args, varargs, varkw,
defaults).
    'args' is a list of the argument names (it may contain nested
lists).
    'varargs' and 'varkw' are the names of the * and ** arguments or
None.
    'defaults' is an n-tuple of the default values of the last n
arguments.

Hope that helps.
