argmap.compile

argmap.compile(f)

Compile the decorated function.

Called once for a given decorated function – collects the code from all argmap decorators in the stack, and compiles the decorated function.

Much of the work done here uses the assemble method to allow recursive treatment of multiple argmap decorators on a single decorated function. That flattens the argmap decorators, collects the source code to construct a single decorated function, then compiles/executes/returns that function.

The source code for the decorated function is stored as an attribute _code on the function object itself.

Note that Python’s compile function requires a filename, but this code is constructed without a file, so a fictitious filename is used to describe where the function comes from. The name is something like: “argmap compilation 4”.

Parameters:

fcallable

The function to be decorated

Returns:

funccallable

The decorated file
