Summary: inspect.getsource() breakage in 2.4
Initial Comment:
In a real-life case, inspect.getsource() used to
produce the correct result on 2.3 but no longer does on
2.4:
def somefunc(x, y): # comments
...body...
With 2.4 (and 2.5 CVS) the body is completely skipped
because the first line doesn't end with a colon. In my
opinion that's a critical problem for any code relying
on getsource(), even though such code can be considered
as relying on a large pile of fragile hacks in the
first place...
Attached is a patch for test_inspect.py, showing the
problem (also includes a different, much more
convoluted bug example). It seems that looking for and
around ':' in the first line isn't such a good idea;
relying more fully on the tokenizer would probably be a
better solution.
Assigned to jlgijsbers, as the author of the changes
that broke this (Dec 12th, 2004). (No blame intended,
the change was meant to fix a different bug, and it did
so.)

Well, I'm sorry, but I can't make the time after all. I've
asked the author of the original patch to take a look at
this patch. Note that this code isn't yet in a 2.4 release,
so we could also back this out before 2.4.1.

Right now I don't have time to look into this bug deeply,
but I will do so this week. I'll note that the convoluted
example doesn't seem to be working under 2.3, though.
