That's because it is buried in the C-library that is the actual implementation. There has been a discussion about this a few weeks ago - and AFAIK there isn't much you can do about that. > Suggestions? Yes. Don't do it :) After all, what you do is nothing but a simple word-search. If I had that problem, my naive approach would be to simply tokenize the sources and look for the words in them being part of your function-name-set. A bit of statekeeping to keep track of the position, and you're done. Check out pyparsing, it might help you doing the tokenization. I admit that the apparent ease of the regular expression would have lured me into the same trap. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
