argname doesn't seem to function, "cannot retrieve the node where the function is called" about python-varname

Could you indicate the environment you ran the code? For example, python REPL, ipython, python script file, etc.

it was a python script file

Sorry, didn't see that you were using pyscripter IDE. I am not a user of it and am not sure how it runs code. My guess is that it uses something like eval, which we can't retrieve the source from, or its other functions stop us from retrieving the source.

i see. thank you

just one last thing, ignoring this specific IDE's issue, if i turn the file into an executable using PyInstaller, will there be any problems?

[pwwang]

By default, we can't retrieve the source code, since PyInstaller compiles the source into .pyc files.
However, there seems to be tricks to do this:

See if you want to give it a try.
