10,338 PointsCan I show the line number in Python?
For example if I do this:-
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
print("code")
etc
Can I also get the line that each print is used on to show in the running of the program?
This might seem a strange request, but is it doable ??
Thanks Guys

231,269 PointsThere's a module called "inspect" that has methods for getting that kind of information:
from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo
f = currentframe()
print(getframeinfo(f).lineno, "code")
print(getframeinfo(f).lineno, "code")
# ...etc.

10,338 PointsWould it be possible to enclose an code block/several lines of code with just one print(getframeinfo(f).lineno, "code") ? I feel i've wrote that wrong - but if you get what i'm trying to say

231,269 PointsSure, but it would only print the line number of the print statement itself.
Or did you want to just number output lines? You could do that with a loop and a counter without inspect.

10,338 PointsI'm using Visual studio and the terminal doesn't supply line numbers from code that's run.
However thanks that's very interesting.
