Hi!
I think you were the omitting the more interesting closure examples
(namely with free variables inside the closure's source):
def foo(): pass
def bar(x):
def fiep(): return x()
return fiep
what's bar(foo).__source__?

about time to start discussing the "use the
__source__ Luke" feature which IMO will really
boost python into a new domain of exciting
possibilities.
I've prepared a pre-PEP which is not very good
but it is a base.
In short, the feature is good a
