You have the line number in the bytecode:

>>> def initive( arguments ):
...   say = None
...   print "remarks"
... 
>>> initive.func_code.co_code 
'\177\001\000\177\002\000t\000\000}\001\000\177\003\000d\001\000GHd\000\000S'

The '\177' bytecode is LINENO; the two following bytes are the line
number.

: I browsed the source code of the executor and found that
: there is an endless loop (in eval_code2) which extracts
: opcodes and executes them, so I think this would be a
: nice place to wedge some code to extract this information.
: However, I found no way to get the "current line number"

: compiled block stored in my application... do I have any
: way to map the offset of the current instruction to the
: node which previously generated it during the compilation
: phase ? Or any other way to extract the current line number ?

If you fiddle with eval_code2, then yes, sure, use the bytecode.

Ciao.
