Below my sig is one shot at it; which requires a lambda: for other reasons. It's an assertion used with Django models. You can search for the name of your trace method, instead of lambda, using this brute-force technique. And here's a nice thread on Greg's technique, from a very short time ago: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/03dd85ce009044e9 -- Phlip http://penbird.tumblr.com/ def assert_model_changes(self, mod, item, frum, too, lamb): source = open(lamb.func_code.co_filename, 'r').readlines() [lamb.func_code.co_firstlineno - 1] source = source.replace('lambda:', '').strip() model = str(mod.__class__).replace("'>", '').split('.')[-1] should = '%s.%s should equal `%s` before your activation line, `%s`' % \ (model, item, frum, source) self.assertEqual(frum, mod.__dict__[item], should) lamb() mod = mod.__class__.objects.get(pk=mod.pk) should = '%s.%s should equal `%s` after your activation line, ` %s`' % \ (model, item, too, source) self.assertEqual(too, mod.__dict__[item], should) return mod -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
