**incant** is a Python open source library for composing and calling functions.

Going by the old, humorous adage that dependency injection is simply passing arguments to functions, _incant_ is a toolkit that is well suited to that use case.

_incant_ will help you with:

- all kinds of dependency injection scenarios

- adapting interfaces of third-party libraries to make them more flexible

- generically wrapping functions and coroutines for instrumentation

- creating signature-altering decorators

- calling functions and coroutines with unknown signatures safely

- ... and much more!

For example:

```python

from incant import Incanter

incanter = Incanter()

@incanter.register_by_name

def now() -> float:

    """

    Return the current timestamp.

    We can replace this for testing later.

    """

    from time import time

    return time()

def my_function(now: float) -> None:

    print(f"The time now is {now}")

incanter.compose_and_call(my_function)

```

_incant_ has a fully type-annotated interface for use with Mypy and Pyright.

_incant_ works by generating Python code at runtime, and is extremely efficient.

(_incant_ is the fastest Python dependency injection framework we're aware of.)

If you're familiar with _pytest_, _incant_ dependency factories are roughly equivalent to _pytest_ fixtures.
