Both excellent points.

I suspect that Alain was just showing two ways to accomplish the same 
end, since he was giving a purely didactic example.  I dumbly copied his 
code.

What about the following?  Should the underscores be omitted from the 
method names, for consistency with inspect?

     # srcinfo.py
     import inspect
     import sys

     def currentline():
         return inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_lineno

     def currentfile():
         return inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_code.co_filename

     # client.py
     import srcinfo
     import sys

     debug = '-d' in sys.argv
     # ...
     if debug:
         print('reached %s:%d' %
             (srcinfo.currentfile(), srcinfo.currentline()))
