Alan G I would do it so by parsing source file: * (convert indents to tabs (easier to parse)) * search for a line that start with (n indents) + def func_name * record all following lines that start with (n+1 indents) or more * stop where a line starts with (n indents) or less denis -- la vida e estranya ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Printing the code of a function
Hello all, This might be trivially easy, but I was having a hard time searching on it since all the component terms are overloaded:-) I am wondering if there is a way to print out the code of a defined function. So if I have: def foo(): print Show me the money. then I would like to do something like: foo.show_code def foo(): print Show me the money. I checked out everything in dir(foo), but everything that looked promising (namely foo.func_code), didn't end up being anything close. Thanks for any help!

When Python compiles source code, it doesn't store the source code
itself; only the compiled intermediate code. With the 'dis' package you
can disassemble that:
def foo():
print Show me the money.
import dis
dis.dis(foo)
2 0 LOAD_CONST 1 ('Show me the money.')
3 PRINT_ITEM
4 PRINT_NEWLINE
5 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
8 RETURN_VALUE

Python does not store the source when compiling things. So the short answer is NO. There are some "disassemblers" for Python but I have no experience with them. They will not be able to reconstruct the exact source. But ... why do you want to do this? Perhaps if we had more information about the "use case" we could steer you to a solution.

Re: [Tutor] Printing the code of a function
I actually didn't have a definite use case in mind, it was pure curiosity that arose while writing a few simple test functions. After having considered it more, I can't come up with a case where it would really be necessary, so I apologize for that. It makes sense why it wouldn't be possible without a disassembler now.
