holger krekel <holger.kre...@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks for helping with this! Attached is a patch that adds a keyword "check=True" to getsourcefile so that findsource can defer existence-checking until after cache lookup. Eventually, findsource will still raise an IOError if it can't find the source file and cannot recover the source from cache. The patch mainly consists of adding a number of tests to specify the (refined) behaviour of findsource and getsourcefile.
