I'm not here.

I've been opening source files by hand in TextMate and it's annoyingly tedious so I wrote a quick helper this morning and added it to __builtins__ via sitecustomize so I wouldn't have to mess around anymore.

def mate(obj):
  import os, inspect, logging
  try:
    fn = inspect.getsourcefile(obj)
    _, line = inspect.getsourcelines(obj)
    os.system("/usr/local/bin/mate -d -a -l %d %s" % (line, fn))
  except IOError, e:
    logging.exception(e)

Now in the interpreter:

>>> import logging
>>> mate(logging.error)

will launch TextMate and put the caret at the appropriate line number. If obj has no source then an exception is logged and no source is displayed.
