Can you cheat and just assign another known good func_code object? >>> def hello(): print "hello" ... >>> def world(): print "world" ... >>> def use_it(hello=hello, world=world): ... hello() ... world() ... >>> use_it() hello world >>> world.func_code = hello.func_code >>> use_it() hello hello >>> hello, world (<function hello at 0x402904fc>, <function world at 0x40290534>) Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
