robustapply
Robust apply mechanism.
The robustapply module is accessible via the louie module.
Provides a function 'call', which can sort out what arguments a given callable object can take, and subset the given arguments to match only those which are acceptable.
Functions
f function(receiver) ...
Get function-like callable object for given receiver.
returns (function_or_method, codeObject, fromMethod)
If fromMethod is true, then the callable already has its first argument bound.
f robust_apply(receiver, signature) ...
Call receiver with arguments and appropriate subset of named. signature is the callable used to determine the call signature of the receiver, in case receiver is a callable wrapper of the actual receiver.
