# A subroutine for extracting a function name from a code object # (with cache) import sys from stat import * import string import os import linecache # Extract the function or class name from a code object. # This is a bit of a hack, since a code object doesn't contain # the name directly. So what do we do: # - get the filename (which *is* in the code object) # - look in the code string to find the first SET_LINENO instruction # (this must be the first instruction) # - get the line from the file # - if the line starts with 'class' or 'def' (after possible whitespace), # extract the following identifier # # This breaks apart when the function was read from # or constructed by exec(), when the file is not accessible, # and also when the file has been modified or when a line is # continued with a backslash before the function or class name. # # Because this is a pretty expensive hack, a cache is kept.
