I tried this:
>>> def func(a):
...   a = 'abcd'


>>> inspect.getsource(func)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 701, in 
getsource
    lines, lnum = getsourcelines(object)
  File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 690, in 
getsourcelines
    lines, lnum = findsource(object)
  File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 538, in 
findsource
    raise IOError('could not get source code')
IOError: could not get source code

>>> inspect.getsourcelines(func)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 690, in 
getsourcelines
    lines, lnum = findsource(object)
  File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 538, in 
findsource
    raise IOError('could not get source code')
IOError: could not get source code

What is wrong?

Thanks,
Viet
