`objinspect` is a high-level wrapper around Python's built-in `inspect` module. 

It provides a simple interface for examining Python functions and classes.

## Features

- Simplified inspection of Python objects (classes, functions, methods)

- Detailed information about parameters, return types, and docstrings

- prettydir - like dir(), but with more information and prettier output

## Installation

#### From PyPi

```

pip install objinspect

```

#### From source

```

pip install git+https://github.com/zigai/objinspect

```

## Examples

``` python

>>> from objinspect import inspect

>>> import math

>>> inspect(math.pow)

Function(name='pow', parameters=2, description='Return x**y (x to the power of y).')

>>> inspect(math.pow).dict

{

   'name': 'pow', 

   'parameters': [

      {'name': 'x', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': , 'default': , 'description': None}, 

      {'name': 'y', 'kind': <_ParameterKind.POSITIONAL_ONLY: 0>, 'type': , 'default': , 'description': None}], 

   'docstring': 'Return x**y (x to the power of y).'

}

                 

>>> inspect(inspect)

Function(name='inspect', parameters=7, description='Inspects an object and returns a structured representation of its attributes and methods.')

```
