set_defaults

tpcp.misc.set_defaults(**defaults)

Set the default values of a function.

This will return a wrapped version of the function, that has the default values set. This might be useful, if you want to set default values programmatically (i.e. load them from a file).

This decorator also works on class methods, and might be used to set default values of class-init parameters.

Parameters:

**defaults

The new default values for the function’s parameters. Note, that this must be a subset of the function’s parameters. Further, you can not set default values for parameters that already have a default value. This will raise a ValueError.

Returns:

decorator

A decorator that can be applied to a function to modify its default values.
