A bit more readable:
v1=(lambda x:x%('r\"'+x+'\"'))

Now there's always that style :
>>> print x
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
eval(x)
File "", line 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> eval(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", lin
It's a bit cheap, but how about
>>> from inspect import getsource
>>> print getsource(getsource)
or similarly
def f(g):
import inspect
return inspect.getsource(g)
print f(f)

Hi all,
An earlier post today got me thinking about "quines" (programs that
output themselves) in Python. I tried to find some on the web but
didn't find many ([1]). In particular I didn't find any that
corresponded to my instinctive (LISP-induced, probably) criterion:
