Hi,
I tried:
def func(a):
a = 'abcd'
>>> inspect.getsource(func)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 701, in getsource
lines, lnum = getsourcelines(object)
File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 690, in getsourcelines
lines, lnum = findsource(object)
File "/sw/packages/python/current/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 538, in findsource
raise IOError('could not get source code')
IOError: could not get source code
What is wrong?
Thanks,
Viet
