New submission from astronouth7303: Something about distutils/cmd.py breaks inspect.findsource(). I am unsure if this is a bug with DistUtils or the inspect module.
>>> import inspect, distutils.cmd >>> inspect.findsource(distutils.cmd.install_misc.get_outputs) Causes findsource() to receive an IndexError. >From some hacking, I've found that the root cause appears to be that linecache.getlines() returns a number of lines that do not match the actual file. (In my case, getlines() returns 405 lines when distutils/cmd.py has 478 lines.) This bug causes pydoc to break when it is pointed at distutils.cmd. This is on Ubuntu Gutsy, Python 2.5.1 ---------- components: None messages: 59145 nosy: astronouth7303 severity: normal status: open title: distutils.cmd breaks inspect versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1728> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
