To add, while an enhancement just to linecache would make sense in its own right, I don't see the problem with also extending the Loader.get_source() API to be more useful as well. Its current behavior is to just return a string (or None), but it seems to me one could keep that basic behavior, but also extend it to optionally return a more sophisticated source map data structure (that could involve multiple source files as well). This could even be useful for built-in modules. I would love, for example, to be able to get stack traces within extension modules integrated into Python tracebacks if they are compiled with some appropriate debug flags. The case of Cython demonstrates that something like this is perfectly doable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32797> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
