given a line like:

"get method" -- (result-to-knp(ar-method-copy-apt)) -- returns copy of

here?).


py-copy-of-def-or-class will do that. Region is marked than.
Will put alias `py-copy-method' onto that.

Would you want to get the whole class too, when below a class and above a method definition?

Understand strictly speaking "method" only inside a class.
However, for your purposes, if cursor is between the opening of a class and its first method, dealing with class variables for example, "get method" would cover the whole class. Thats the question so far.

BTW what about return values? Is it good enough as `py-copy-of-def-or-class' does? Would an explicit sending of the beginning and and of the region then be of interest?

Okay, I think I understand some of the trouble.

When I said something like "get method", I'm using a shorthand that I think you would call "get method name". The vocal command for what you are describing would be "get entire method". Using the totally fictitious method:

def simple_method (self, index, string, instance):
    oil_type = string[3:7]
    oil_level = self.tank [index]
    lubricated_device = instance.motor

when I say "get entire method", I expect the entire method to be returned. when I say:

 "get method"  Return one of the following (tank, motor).
 "get instance" Return one of the following (self, instance).
 "get method definition" Return the following name (simple_method)
"get first argument Return self if this command is used while the cursor is on the same line as "simple_method"
 "get index" returns one of the following (3:7, index)

slightly more complicated versions:

If the cursor sits on the word type of oil_type and I say "get index" it should return a string "3:7" leaving mark at '3' and the cursor (point) after '7'. From the same starting point, if I say "get next index", it should return the word "index" leaving the mark on "i" and point after "x" from the same starting point, if I say "get last argument" it should return the word "instance" leaving mark on'i' of instance and point after the 'n'

I am on the fence about whether or not to return information or strictly use these new routines to mark a region and then use the region retrievals and change functions. What do you think about that? I'm also missing some pronounceable and unique shorthand names for other features.
