Assuming it works with Python, of course. If it doesn't, is there a similar tool that can be used? A related question too is whether any of these tools actually help in an object-oriented environment. http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/114237 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
What file is foo in package bar in ?
Hi - I think this is a pretty basic question but it's never worried me before. To improve my skills I'm reading the source code of a library written by someone else. I've come across a problem doing that. Commonly a function is called like this: thepackage.theclass.foo The problem is that 'theclass' is implemented in a file called nothingliketheclass.py so finding the implemention of foo is a bit boring. Now I can grep for foo and depending on how common the method name is that helps ... or not but I'm sure there must be a better way. Given an arbitary package is there some programmatic way to 'ask' what file the method/function is implemented in ? thanks R. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
