Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ali Gholami Rudi (aligrudi) >Assigned to: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Summary: inspect module and class startlineno Initial Comment: Inspect module fails to find the correct starting line number of a class. :: import inspect def a_func(): class AClass(object): pass class AClass(object): pass print inspect.findsource(AClass)[1] # the result should have been 7, but it is 4 After reading `inspect` module I realized that for classes it does a simple RE search to find their definition location. Apart from that I think python does not seem to fully support classes with the same name in one module (nested classes that are defined in other functions or classes). That is a `ClassType` only holds its module and its name and that is hardly enough for runtime analysis of objects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-10-12 09:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Added a better find heuristics in rev. 52299, 52300 (2.5).
