Check PEP 302 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0302/) specifically
the get_source (optional) method. It's not exactly what you describe,
but it may help. Please note that it's optional - if you loaded the
code from a zipfile containing only bytecode files, there is no source
to get, so you have to be prepared for that case. But if the source is
available, this should give you a way of getting to it.
