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
>>>
