Jean-Paul Calderone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: This is still relevant. It makes linecache (and therefore some other things, like inspect.getsource) almost useless in many cases. For example, because of this, sometimes inspect.getsource will raise an IOError and sometimes it will return garbage data. If the source file isn't around, it'd be much better to fail all the time. Rummaging around in the filesystem hoping to get lucky and find another file with the same name which contains the correct contents is insane. This may have made sense when relative path names were being used, but it makes no sense anymore.
