The question appears to be asking about accessing the function's namespace, not just printing the value of the variables. If the namespace concept is new to you, I recommend reading the Python documentation and Real Python's blog post on Namespace's in Python. Let's look at a few ways to do what you are asking.

Printing the values is straightforward:

def times(value, power):
    print(f"Value passed to function was:  {value}")
    print(f"Power passed to function was:  {power}")
    print(f'Result of calculation is: {x: .6f}')

If you need to print it out the way you describe in your question, the values should be returned. This can be accomplished by updating your function to:

def times(value, power):
    return value, power, value**power

v, p, result = times(2,3)

print(f'Result of calculation is: {result: .6f}')
print(f"Value passed to function was:  {v}")
print(f"Power passed to function was:  {p}")

However, returning parameters seems a little odd since one would assume you as the developer can capture those values elsewhere in your code. If you want to view the variables and their values for a given namespace, use the corresponding function. For viewing the value and power variables, which live in the function times() local namespace, use locals() which returns a dictionary object that is a copy of the current local namespace.

def times(value, power):
    print(locals())
    return value**power

>>> times(5, 4)
{'value': 5, 'power': 4}
625

If the variables are defined in the global namespace, (keep in mind global variables should be used with care) you can use globals() to look up the value in the global namespace:

VALUE = 2
POWER = 3
def times(value=VALUE, power=POWER):
    return value**power

>>> globals()['VALUE']
2
>>> globals()['POWER']
3

I hope this helps you figure out how to accomplish what you are working on. I recommend taking some time to read about how Python views and manages namespaces. If you want to watch a video, check out this PyCon talk by Raymond Hettinger on object oriented programming 4 different ways.

There are many ways to do this. To fix your current code using %-formatting, you need to pass in a tuple:

1. Pass it as a tuple:

   print("Total score for %s is %s" % (name, score))
   

A tuple with a single element looks like ('this',).

Here are some other common ways of doing it:

2. Pass it as a dictionary:

   print("Total score for %(n)s is %(s)s" % {'n': name, 's': score})
   

There's also new-style string formatting, which might be a little easier to read:

3. Use new-style string formatting:

   print("Total score for {} is {}".format(name, score))
   

4. Use new-style string formatting with numbers (useful for reordering or printing the same one multiple times):

   print("Total score for {0} is {1}".format(name, score))
   

5. Use new-style string formatting with explicit names:

   print("Total score for {n} is {s}".format(n=name, s=score))
   

6. Concatenate strings:

   print("Total score for " + str(name) + " is " + str(score))
   

The clearest two, in my opinion:

7. Just pass the values as parameters:

   print("Total score for", name, "is", score)
   

   If you don't want spaces to be inserted automatically by print in the above example, change the sep parameter:

   print("Total score for ", name, " is ", score, sep='')
   

   If you're using Python 2, won't be able to use the last two because print isn't a function in Python 2. You can, however, import this behavior from __future__:

   from __future__ import print_function
   

8. Use the new f-string formatting in Python 3.6:

   print(f'Total score for {name} is {score}')
   

You'll need to import sys for that to work.

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
print  sys.argv[1:]

Example

:/tmp% cat foo.py
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
print (sys.argv[1:]);

:/tmp% python foo.py 'hello world' arg3 arg4 arg5
['hello world', 'arg3', 'arg4', 'arg5']

Well we don't actually need inspect here.

>>> func = lambda x, y: (x, y)
>>> 
>>> func.__code__.co_argcount
2
>>> func.__code__.co_varnames
('x', 'y')
>>>
>>> def func2(x,y=3):
...  print(func2.__code__.co_varnames)
...  pass # Other things
... 
>>> func2(3,3)
('x', 'y')
>>> 
>>> func2.__defaults__
(3,)
