Summary: inspect.getsource doesn't update when a module is reloaded
Initial Comment:
This is test.py:
def foo():
print "Bla"
And in an interactive session:
>>> import inspect, test
>>> test.foo()
Bla
>>> inspect.getsource(test.foo)
'def foo():\n print "Bla"\n'
Now I edit test.py to (without exiting the interactive
session):
def foo():
print "Oh no!"
>>> reload(test)
<module 'test' from 'test.py'>
>>> test.foo()
Oh no!
>>> inspect.getsource(test.foo)
'def foo():\n print "Bla"\n'
inspect should output the new source.

This is the fault of the linecache module which inspect
uses. It caches the file contents and does not reload it
accordingly. However, I assume it's pretty hard finding a
good solution to this.
