from himself to use specific commands to create
functions. It should be transparent built into python.
For the case of the interactive prompt, if preserving
the source code is somehow desirable (which I doubt),
it should be the job of the development environment
to offer saving interactively-defined methods.
Such IDE support is necessary even if __source__ was
available, since users probably would not want to write
open("demo.py").write(myfunc.__source__ + "\n" + myclass.__source)
OTOH, programming python is easy and fun and I think
the proposed feature will make it even more fun and it
aims in increasing the number of people who program
python for their every day tasks. It'd be interesting to
hear if the developers of IDLE/ipython/etc could use this.
I think it is the other way 'round. If this is *only* for
interactive mode, than you should *first* change the interactive
environments. If you then find you absolutely need this feature
to implement the IDEs correctly, I'd like to hear the (new)
rationale for the change.

Martin
