This recipe is based on http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/157572.

Calling parameters() inside a function will return that function's parameters as a dictionary. The dictionary does not include *varargs, since *varargs items do not have a "name" that can be used as a key. However, **varkw is added to the dictionary, as an update.

There are three optional parameters that can be used to filter the information returned.
