Function Membership Introspection

test.py

class MyClass(object):
    def a(self):
        pass
    b = [a]

# Get the reference to a from the list
a = MyClass.b[0]

# How do I get the class a was defined on? Is it even possible?
# On Python 3, I can use __qualname__. This isn't around on Python 2.

interesting thing, that a in the list is a function, but not an unbound method

~ a
function a at 0x101492de8
~ MyClass.a
unbound method MyClass.a
~ MyClass.b
[function a at 0x101492de8]
~ MyClass.dict['a']
function a at 0x101492de8

>>> inspect.ismethod(a)
False
>>> inspect.ismethod(MyClass.b[0])
False

So since it's not a method, there doesn't seem to be any way of getting class it was defined in.

possible try to play inspect.getinnerframes, inspect.getlineno and parse python code to find class definition :)

@alexsv I've tried getting the code and the only thing you get is

    def a(self):
        pass
