If you save your function to a file you can. Saying you have the
following
file:
----------------------------
#! /usr/bin/env python3
def f(x, y):
return x**y
----------------------------
saved as f.py, you can go into the interpreter and do:
>>> import inspect
>>> from f import f
>>> inspect.getsource(f)
'def f(x, y):\n\treturn x**y\n'
However, trying this on a function written in the interpreter
will bail on you.
