You will want to ask IPython questions on the IPython mailing list:

http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/ipython-user

The reason you do not get the source is because there is no file that
contains functions defined in the interactive interpreter. %psource
uses the inspect module, and the inspect module explicitly only looks
in real files

but still:

In [218]: def f():
.....: return 42
.....:

In [219]: %save tmp.py 218
File `tmp.py` exists. Overwrite (y/[N])? y
The following commands were written to file `tmp.py`:
def f():
return 42


In [220]: !cat tmp.py
def f():
return 42

In [221]: %psource f
No source found for f

So? The function object f knows nothing about the file tmp.py. If you were to import tmp and then ask for %psource tmp.f, it should work.
