Convenience facilities related to Python functions.

*Latest release 20250724*:
* func_a_kw_fmt: shorten long %r, widen another field.
* Drop Python 2 support.

Short summary:
* `callif`: Call `func(*a,**kw)` if `doit` is true otherwise just print it out.
* `callmethod_if`: Call the named `method` on the object `obj` if it exists.
* `derived_from`: A property which must be recomputed if the revision of another property exceeds the snapshot revision.
* `derived_property`: A property which must be recomputed if the reference revision (attached to self) exceeds the snapshot revision.
* `func_a_kw`: Return a string representing a call to `func(*a,**kw)`.
* `func_a_kw_fmt`: Prepare a percent-format string and associated argument list describing a call to `func(*a,**kw)`. Return `format,args`.
* `funccite`: Return a citation for a function (name and code location).
* `funcname`: Return a name for the supplied function `func`. Several objects do not have a __name__ attribute, such as partials.
* `prop`: A substitute for the builtin @property.

Module contents:
- <a name="callif"></a>`callif(doit, func, *a, **kw)`: Call `func(*a,**kw)` if `doit` is true
  otherwise just print it out.

  The parameter `func` may be preceeded optionally by a `dict`
  containing modes. The current modes are:
  * `'print'`: the print function, default the builtin `print`
- <a name="callmethod_if"></a>`callmethod_if(obj, method, default=None, a=None, kw=None)`: Call the named `method` on the object `obj` if it exists.

  If it does not exist, return `default` (which defaults to None).
  Otherwise call getattr(obj, method)(*a, **kw).
  `a` defaults to ().
  `kw` defaults to {}.
- <a name="derived_from"></a>`derived_from(property_name)`: A property which must be recomputed
  if the revision of another property exceeds the snapshot revision.
- <a name="derived_property"></a>`derived_property(func, original_revision_name='_revision', lock_name='_lock', property_name=None, unset_object=None)`: A property which must be recomputed
  if the reference revision (attached to self)
  exceeds the snapshot revision.
- <a name="func_a_kw"></a>`func_a_kw(func, *a, **kw)`: Return a string representing a call to `func(*a,**kw)`.
- <a name="func_a_kw_fmt"></a>`func_a_kw_fmt(func, *a, **kw)`: Prepare a percent-format string and associated argument list
  describing a call to `func(*a,**kw)`.
  Return `format,args`.

  The `func` argument can also be a string,
  typically a prepared description of `func` such as `funccite(func)`.

  *Note*: the returned `args` is a `list` for easy incorporation
  into further arguments.  The `%` operator requires a `tuple`.
- <a name="funccite"></a>`funccite(func)`: Return a citation for a function (name and code location).
- <a name="funcname"></a>`funcname(func)`: Return a name for the supplied function `func`.
  Several objects do not have a __name__ attribute, such as partials.
- <a name="prop"></a>`prop(func)`: A substitute for the builtin @property.

  The builtin @property decorator lets internal AttributeErrors escape.
  While that can support properties that appear to exist conditionally,
  in practice this is almost never what I want, and it masks deeper errors.
  Hence this wrapper for @property that transmutes internal AttributeErrors
  into RuntimeErrors.

# Release Log



*Release 20250724*:
* func_a_kw_fmt: shorten long %r, widen another field.
* Drop Python 2 support.

*Release 20240630*:
funcname: include the module name, handle functions with no __module__.

*Release 20230331*:
Drop @trace, moved to cs.debug.

*Release 20230210*:
Drop the returns_* and yields_* decorators, these days type annotations and @typechecked are the go.

*Release 20221207*:
* @trace: trace exceptions by default, previously false.
* Late import of cs.fs.shortpath to avoid import loop.
* New func_a_kw(func,*a,**kw) returning the formatted form of func_a_kw_fmt(func,*a,**kw).

*Release 20221118*:
@trace: add indenting.

*Release 20220619*:
@trace: rename some parameters, add with_caller.

*Release 20220311.1*:
New callif(doit[,modes],func,*a,**kw) to call or print a function, used in -n/--dry-run stuff sometimes.

*Release 20220311*:
* @trace: new pprint=False option to use pprint.pformat instead of repr for the return value.
* @trace: bugfix use of retval parameter.

*Release 20210913*:
New func_a_kw_fmt(func,*a,**kw) imported from cs.pfx, hooked it into @trace.

*Release 20210906*:
funcname: special case functools.partial, return concise name.

*Release 20210717*:
* Move @trace from debug to py.func, defer log call imports to avoid loops.
* Drop cs.pfx requirement, import opportunisticly with fallback.

*Release 20200518*:
funcname: prefer `func.__qualname__` over `func.__name__`

*Release 20190729*:
funccite: handle callables with no __code__ attribute.

*Release 20190108*:
Break import loop. Use cs.py3.raise_from for portability.

*Release 20181231*:
* Some type specific convenience wrappers for yields_type and returns_type.
* Bugfix for @prop.

*Release 20170906.1*:
Minor tweaks.

*Release 20170906*:
Bugfix for @prop.

*Release 20170608*:
New decorator @prop which works just like the builtin @property, but transmutes internal AttributeError into RuntimeError, unmasking many bugs.

*Release 20160828*:
Use "install_requires" instead of "requires" in DISTINFO.

*Release 20150115*:
First PyPI release.
