Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Greg Couch (gregcouch) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: help() can't find right source file Initial Comment: The problem occurs when Python modules are precompiled with the the compileall module and the -d option to give a simpiler directory name (we use the application name because when we get error reports, where the application was installed is rarely important). Then introspection on a function in the inspect module gives a "non-existent" filename, i.e., func.func_code.co_filename gives the name for backtraces, not the actual filename. The right answer can be found by looking at sys.modules[func.__module__].__file__ and the attached patch does that. This patch is against Python2.4's Lib/inspect.py, but the bug is still present in SVN (Python 2.5.1+). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1738179&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
