access file's actual code as string Python
Question: this is mainly curiosity, I'd like to access my script's actual code, so for a
file:

    
    
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # coding: utf-8
    
    import os, sys, subprocess, time, re
    import yagmail
    

it would return

    
    
    code = """\
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # coding: utf-8
    
    import os, sys, subprocess, time, re
    import yagmail"""
    

I see nice things like file, name, etc, but no code:

    
    
    __IPYTHON__        __IPYTHON__active  __debug__          __doc__            __file__           __import__         __name__           __package__        
    ipdb> 
    

Thank you


Answer: The `inspect` library has some methods for this (specifically
`inspect.getsource()`).
