New submission from Popa Claudiu <pcmantic...@gmail.com>: inspect.getsource called with a class defined in the same file fails with TypeError: <module '__main__' (built-in)> is a built-in class, although the documentation says that:
"The argument may be a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object. The source code is returned as a single string." I think that should be specified in documentation that this function works only for objects living in a module. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 143645 nosy: Popa.Claudiu, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
