This is probably about as close as you're going to get: import sys pring open(sys.argv[0],'r').read() And that isn't 100% reliable. > I would like to know, where is the script's code is stored once we > start it. It isn't. At least none of the implimentations I know of have the script's source code in memory. The PVM or JVM bytecodes to which the program has been compiled are in memory somewhere, and there _may_ be some trick you can use to get at those. > I know I can achieve that, using files : > > print file('myscript.py','rb').read() > > But is there a way / a variable that contains the current file in > memory ? I don't believe so. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! RHAPSODY in Glue! at visi.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
