all,<br>
<br>
This might be trivially easy, but I was having a hard time searching on
it since all the component terms are overloaded:-) I am wondering if
there is a way to print out the code of a defined function. </div>

Python does not store the source when compiling things. So the short
answer is NO.<br>
<br>
There are some "disassemblers" for Python but I have no experience with
them. They will not be able to reconstruct the exact source.<br>
<br>
But ... why do you want to do this? Perhaps if we had more information
about the "use case" we could steer you to a solution.<br>

<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">So
if I have:<br>
<br>
def foo():<br>
print "Show me the money."<br>
<br>
then I would like to do something like:<br>
<br>
>>> foo.show_code<br>
def foo():<br>
print "Show me the money."<br>
<br>
I checked out everything in dir(foo), but everything that looked
promising (namely foo.func_code), didn't end up being anything close.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help!<br>
<br>
Cordially,<br>
