Comment #3 on issue 399 by pekka.klarck: add file path to xml generated by libdoc
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=399

This would be relatively easy to implement but there are two problems that make
locating the actual source code non-trivial even after that:

1) With Python libs the source is actually path to the .pyc file.
2) The full path is not the same in different machines.

Both of these problems are obviously workaroundable on the client side but I'd like
to have a solution that wouldn't require workarounds.

What about making it possible to store any free metadata to library documentation? This info could be stored to XML and also shown on HTML versions similarly. A simple approach to specify it would be using '--metadata name:value' option like with RF itself. This way you could store the source if you wanted to (and use relative paths pointing to .py files) but you and others could use it for other purposes too.

Either way, the fastest way to get this in is creating a patch.
