[docs] [issue19472] inspect.getsource() raises a wrong exception type

[Marco Buttu]

New submission from Marco Buttu:

I was looking at inspect.getsource(). In Python 3.3 and 3.4 either the docstring and the online doc say it raises a OSError, and in fact: 


>>> import inspect
>>> def foo():
...     pass
... 
>>> inspect.getsource(foo)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
OSError: could not get source code


However, getsource() calls getfile(), and this one raises a TypeError:


>>> inspect.getsource(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
TypeError: 0 is not a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object
