  You can use inspect.getsource(obj) if obj is a module, class, method,
  function, traceback, frame, or code that has a source file (e.g.
  __file__, co_filename) and is defined normally (e.g. class, def):
  
   import inspect
   def printsrc(obj): print inspect.getsource(obj)
  
   import antigravity
   printsrc(antigravity)
  
  import webbrowser
  
  webbrowser.open(http://xkcd.com/353/)
 
 Ahh, thank you! I like the %psource magic word, but until I get IPython 
 installed in the office I'll use inspect.getsource. 
 import inspect, soul
 print inspect.getsource(soul.getsoul)
 import webbrowser
 webbrowser.open(http://xkcd.com/413/)  ;-))

Re: [Tutor] Books for Learning Python

[Femi Banjo]

Not Books but have you tried any of the online learning courses?
They're free and look very good from my equally beginner perspective as I 
struggle through them(allow more time than you think :[ )
www.coursera.org
www.edx.org
www.udacity.com

all very good, take you pick!

Subject: [Tutor] Books for Learning Python

Hello all, I've began my journey into Python (2.7 currently) and I'm finding it 
a bit rough using the python.org tutorials.  Although chalked full of 
information I find it a bit overwhelming.  Can anyone recommend a book, or two, 
or three that would be great material for really learning the language.  I tend 
to learn better with a little structure and I feel a good book would be the 
best approach for myself.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. --Thanks!
