Zorceta added the comment: When provided object is not from a file, like input in interactive shell, `inspect` internals will check for it in `linecache`, which official Python shell and IDLE won't put interactive shell input into, yet. This can be simply solved.
Whether interactive shell input can be put into `linecache` may be a problem, but it'll make life easier, as interactive shell saves time from edit-save-run 'loop'. btw, I changed the title, since I don't think, what original author thought need to be documented, is absolutely right. ---------- title: Document that inspect.getsource only works for objects loaded from files, not interactive session -> inspect.getsource only works for objects loaded from files, not interactive session _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
