Christoph Reiter added the comment: Why not just do the following:
>>> from collections import namedtuple >>> Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y']) >>> Point._source "from collections import namedtuple\nPoint = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])\n" >>> The docs make it seems as if the primary use case of the _source attribute is to serialize the definition. Returning a source which produces a class with different performance/memory characteristics goes against that. ---------- nosy: +lazka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
