numpy.source()

numpy.source(object, output=', mode 'w' at 0x402ae078>) [source]

Print or write to a file the source code for a Numpy object.

The source code is only returned for objects written in Python. Many functions and classes are defined in C and will therefore not return useful information.

Parameters:

object : numpy object

Input object. This can be any object (function, class, module, ...).

output : file object, optional

If output not supplied then source code is printed to screen (sys.stdout). File object must be created with either write ?w? or append ?a? modes.

>>> np.source(np.interp)                        
In file: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/lib/function_base.py
def interp(x, xp, fp, left=None, right=None):
    """.... (full docstring printed)"""
    if isinstance(x, (float, int, number)):
        return compiled_interp([x], xp, fp, left, right).item()
    else:
        return compiled_interp(x, xp, fp, left, right)

The source code is only returned for objects written in Python.

>>> np.source(np.array)
