Apologies for not being clear. So I wrote: In IPython (or Jupyter), `inspect.getsource` is able to retrieve the source code for functions but not classes. By this I mean: import inspect class X: pass inspect.getsource(X) Note that: - it won't work in the vanilla python interpreter, - it does work for functions in Jupyter/IPython currently, - it works for classes (and functions) in modules. What I would like is to have it work for classes in Jupyter/IPython. By the way: Would a PR be more convenient than a patch?
