I am working on a script and have accidentally deleted the code of a function a while back (so cant Undo) but the function is saved in the memory.

print(diff)

#output
<function diff at 0x7f48f238a670>

Is there a way to print this function's code?

    @MurtazaHaji: That relies on the source file still existing. – user2357112 Oct 16 '20 at 16:41
  • Not if the source code is gone. – martineau Oct 16 '20 at 17:07

    I would start with retrieving the bytecode using [dis](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dis.html) and then try to convert back to python using [uncompyle6](https://pypi.org/project/uncompyle6/) or similar, depending on the actual python version. – awesoon Oct 18 '20 at 07:22
