You can use inspect.getsource(obj) if obj is a module, class, method,
function, traceback, frame, or code that has a source file (e.g.
__file__, co_filename) and is defined normally (e.g. class, def):
>>> import inspect
>>> def printsrc(obj): print inspect.getsource(obj)
>>> import antigravity
>>> printsrc(antigravity)
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://xkcd.com/353/";)
