Sorry, I should have been more precise. linecache does the following
(which is what is in the doc you quoted above):
(1) Look for the filename exactly as given.
(2) Look for a loader and call its get_source() method.
(3) Look for the filename under all sys.path entries.
The difference between (1) and (3) is when a relative filename is given,
typically relative to site-packages. And I'm actually interested in that
third case.
So the question is really: should (3) still be tried if
__loader__.get_source() returns None?
