How to you find the file where a class or a function was implemented? - MisterX - Mar-16-2017
Hello,
I have a big program where a python code calls several codes (written in Python and C++ ) and software. From function2 which is in my main program, I want to know where function1 where created knowing that function1 is called by function2. The function 1 might be available from an import, I guess. How do I print the name of the file in which the function 1 was implemented?
Thank you.

These functions are inside of .py files like MyOtherStuff.py
Just import the module where you need to use it:
import MyOtherStuff
then call function as MyOtherStuff.FunctionName()

The problem is that I don't know which module or file1.py, function1 is. Basically, I want to find in which file the called functions are?

you can get a list of all files in the directory using
os.listdir()you can get a file extension with
filename, file_extension = os.path.splittext(fullpath)look only at files with extension py
then:
place all function names in a list
read each file in and check:
for item in list: if item in filebuffer: display filename and function name

Glob module can get all files by patern.
from glob import glob
py_files = list(glob("*.py"))
