The "inspect" module (see http://www.lfw.org/python/) handles this nicely.

[snip example]

I suggested "inspect.py" for the standard library quite some time ago (long before the feature freeze, and before ascii.py, which has since made it in). MAL responded pretty enthusiastically (http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-July/013511.html). Could i request a little more feedback from others?

Looks fine to me, would fit nicely in with the other introspective things we already have (dis, profile, etc) -- but wasn't it going to be added to the 'help' (or what was it) stdlib module ?
