New submission from Leonard Truong <leon...@truong.io>: Here's a case where `inspect.getsource` returns the wrong class definition when a file contains multiple class definitions with the same name. This pattern is valid runtime behavior when the class definitions are inside different scopes (e.g. a factory pattern where classes are defined and returned inside a function).
``` import inspect def foo0(): class Foo: x = 4 return Foo def foo1(): class Foo: x = 5 return Foo print(inspect.getsource(foo1())) print(foo1().x) print(foo0().x) ``` Running this file produces ``` ❯ python inspect-getsource-issue.py class Foo: x = 4 5 4 ``` ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: inspect-getsource-issue.py messages: 350235 nosy: lennyt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: inspect.getsource returns wrong class definition when multiple class definitions share the same name (but are defined in different scopes) versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48557/inspect-getsource-issue.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37922> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
