It seems to work perfectly on command line though. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12920 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12920] inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: inspect.getsource called with a class defined in the same file fails with TypeError: module '__main__' (built-in) is a built-in class The error message makes me think that getsource(__main__) was used, not getsource(SomeClass). Can you check again? -- nosy: +eric.araujo title: Inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes - inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes versions: -Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12920 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Yes. On Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Feb 20 2011, 21:29:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit

[issue12920] Inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes
New submission from Popa Claudiu pcmantic...@gmail.com: inspect.getsource called with a class defined in the same file fails with TypeError: module '__main__' (built-in) is a built-in class, although the documentation says that: The argument may be a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object. The source code is returned as a single string. I think that should be specified in documentation that this function works only for objects living in a module. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 143645 nosy: Popa.Claudiu, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Inspect.getsource fails to get source of local classes type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12920 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
