Hi,
I think I have discovered two bugs with the inspect module and I would
like to know if anyone can spot any traps in my workaround.
I needed a function which takes a function or method and returns the
code inside it (it also adjusts the indent because I have to paste the
to a text string without indents, which is parsed later...long story).
At first this seemed trivial but then I started getting an error on
line 510 of inspect.py:
504 if iscode(object):
505 if not hasattr(object, 'co_firstlineno '):
506 raise IOError('could not find function definition')
507 lnum = object.co_first lineno - 1
508 pat = re.compile(r'^( \s*def\s)|(.*(? <!\w)lambda(:|\ s))|^
(\s*@)')
509 while lnum 0:
510 if pat.match(lines[lnum]): break
511 lnum = lnum - 1
512 return lines, lnum
I finally figured out that there was a caching problem. The function I
passed was changed, but the code lines (strings) retrieved by
linecache.getli nes() (on lines 464 and 466) didn't update with the new
module contents. The resulting error I was getting occurred when real
module had less lines than the cached module (or the other way around,
whatever.)
To get around this, I invoke linecache.clear cache(). Here is the
function (minus doc strings)...
INDENT_SPACES = 4
def get_fn_contents (fn, remove_indents= 1):
# Clear the cache so inspect.getsour celines doesn't try to
# check an older version of the function's module.
linecache.clear cache()
source_lines, n = inspect.getsour celines(fn)
# Skip the first line which contains the function definition.
# Only want the code inside the function is needed.
fn_contents = source_lines[1:]
# Remove indents
new_indent_line s = [remove_indent(l ine, remove_indents) for line
in fn_contents]
return "".join(new_ind ent_lines)
def remove_indent(i n_str, num_indent=1):
s = in_str
for i in range(num_inden t):
if s[:INDENT_SPACES] == " ": # Whitespace indents
s = s[INDENT_SPACES:]
elif s[:1] == "\t": # Tab characters indents
s = s[1:]
return s
[END CODE]
The second issue is that the last line in the passed function's module
seems to be ignored. So, if the last line of the module is also the
last line of the function, the function is returned one line too
short.
I welcome comments on the bugs or optimization pointers for my code. I
am still quite new to Python. My primary question though is: will
linecache.clear cache() cause me any problems?
Thanks,

I forgot to add that while inspect uses the cached module to get the
text, the line number used to find the block of source lines is
retrieved from the passed object. So, if I pass a function which
reports that it starts on line 50, but in the cache it starts on line
40 an error isn't raised but the lines of code returned are wrong. The
error only occurs when the line number is higher than the number of
lines in the cached module.

I don't think so, apart from performance degradation (but good performance
with bad results isn't good at all!)

Hi all,
IPython has suffered quite a few problems with the inspect module in python
2.3. For these, unfortunately all I've been able to do is guard with
overreaching except clauses, as I had not been able to find small,
reproducible examples to pass on to the devs. But today I got a crash report
from a user and I've been able to replicate this crash with a tiny script
which does not depend on ipython at all.
I'd like to hear from...

I was playing around with the inspect module the other day
trying to write a quick and dirty "smart" logger. By this I mean
that writing a message to the global log would also yield some
info about the calling scope. If you look at my function "test"
below, I'd ideally like log messages:
foo.py:test, "message 1"
foo.py:Foo.__init__, "message 2"
foo.py:Foo.bar, "message 3"

While playing around with the inspect module I found that the
Blockfinder doesn't recognize single line function definitions.
Adding the following two lines to it fixes it, but I'm not sure if it
causes any problems anywhere else.
elif self.indent == 0:
raise EndOfBlock, self.last

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
