This happens because the block search algorithm seems not to be handling lambda arguments correctly. $ cat x.py import inspect def a(y): print inspect.getsource(y) print inspect.getsourcelines(y) a( lambda x: x * 3 ) $ python x.py lambda x: ([' lambda x:\n'], 8)

Unfortunately, this is impossible to fix with the current implementation, which only tokenizes the source. A full parse would be necessary. Since this is just a minor inconvenience (and there are many situations where the source cannot be found at all), I'm closing this as won't fix.
