[issue8087] Unupdated source file in traceback

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Displaying a warning whenever the code has changed on disk is clearly unacceptable - it is both expensive to check (and also, how frequent would you check?), and it would be annoying if you have long-running Python applications so this would just clutter the log files.

-1 on this request; users should just learn this aspect of Python. Also, it is not possible to get this perfect for many reasons, e.g. when you change a class, it will be impossible to update the code of existing instances even with reload.
