inspect.findsource does not call linecache.checkcache thus always returns orignal source of an object regardless of wether it has changed.

Logged In: YES user_id=1041478 Not to mention there's intermediate steps where an object's source could change several times, and be reloaded at one of those intermediate steps... seems like there's no way for findsource itself to return the correct source for an object if it's reloaded. Maybe this should be documented...
