[IPython-dev] IPython-dev Digest, Vol 133, Issue 1

[Jean Bigboute]

[ deletia ]

Thomas's solution worked on both Anaconda and Enthought Canopy for
Windows.  A fresh installation of Anaconda fixed the kernmagic problem
on the Mac.  A couple of minor tweaks were needed to the code itself
to get it to go on all three.  I think I didn't understand the error
messages generated when the code loaded.

import inspect
def source(func):
     print inspect.getsource(func)

does the job via the startup file.

Thanks for the advice.
