I want to programmatically get the source code for a given class property (e.g., pandas.DataFrame.iloc). I tried using inspect.findsource(), which works fine for classes and functions. However, it doesn't work for properties.
import pandas
import inspect
type(pandas.DataFrame) # type
inspect.findsource(pandas.DataFrame) # works ok
type(pandas.DataFrame.apply) # function
inspect.findsource(pandas.DataFrame.apply) # works ok
type(pandas.DataFrame.iloc) # property
inspect.findsource(pandas.DataFrame.iloc) # throws exception
TypeError: module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object was expected, got property
Why inspect cannot find source for property? How can I programmatically get the source code (or source file path) for a given property?
