Yes, it's posible to retrieve the source code IFF the function is implemented in Python and the .py file is available, too. >>> print inspect.getsource(inspect.getsource) def getsource(object): """Return the text of the source code for an object. The argument may be a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object. The source code is returned as a single string. An IOError is raised if the source code cannot be retrieved.""" lines, lnum = getsourcelines(object) return string.join(lines, '') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
