Hi, I tried: def func(a): a = 'abcd' >>> inspect.getsource(func) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 701, in getsource lines, lnum = getsourcelines(object) File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 690, in getsourcelines lines, lnum = findsource(object) File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 538, in findsource raise IOError('could not get source code') IOError: could not get source code What is wrong?
