I prefer the flags. Flags means I can just look at the Parameter object. A "type" or "kind" or whatever means I need to compare to a bunch of constants. That's more stuff to remember. I don't see why remembering 4 names is any harder than remember four attributes.
If it's 4 flags, you can tab-complete on the signature object itself, the meaning of the flags are self-documenting and if you make a mistake, you get an AttributeError which is easier to debug. Also,
param.is_args
is much simpler/cleaner than
param.type == "args"
or
param.type == inspect.Parameter.VARARGS
