inspect.getsource returns unrelated code

The documentation of inspect.getsource states:

Return the text of the source code for an object. [...]

But the function returns slightly more code. It returns all lines of source code that overlap the object, even if the rest of the lines belong to different objects.

For example, the following code creates two lambdas in the same line, so inspect.getsource will return the code of both lambdas instead of just one.

import inspect

# Two function declarations in the same line
x = lambda: 1; y = lambda: 2

# prints "x = lambda: 1; y = lambda: 2\n"
print(repr(inspect.getsource(y)))

The returned code is not even necessarily valid Python, as the following list comprehension demonstrates:

import inspect

funcs = [
    lambda: 1 for
    _ in range(3)
]

# prints '    lambda: 1 for\n', including indentation and a stray "for"
print(repr(inspect.getsource(funcs[0])))

Background

I was trying to access the abstract syntax tree of a function (for JIT compilation), but that does not appear to be possible for lambdas.

Comienza en inspect.getsource y reproduce los dos ejemplos del issue. Después, inspecciona la implementación circundante y las pruebas existentes para la extracción de código fuente. Aclara el comportamiento previsto para las lambdas que comparten una línea o abarcan sintaxis de comprensión, y añade cobertura de regresión que muestre qué debería devolverse. Un pull request vinculado, gh-143301, indica que el trabajo ya se ha trasladado a otro lugar.
