When inspect.getframeinfo() tries to collect lines of context it never shows the first line (unless context is as big as the number of lines in the file).The relevant code is        start = lineno - 1 - context//2        try:            lines, lnum = findsource(frame)        except IOError:            lines = index = None        else:-->         start = max(start, 1)            start = max(0, min(start, len(lines) - context))            lines = lines[start:start+context]            index = lineno - 1 - startI think that            start = max(start, 1)should be replaced by            start = max(start, 0)For some reason getframeinfo() (and the functions which use it) don't seem to be tested by the testsuite...

Looking into this now. Should have a patch either later today or tommorow.

Also, would you mind posting an example? I'm having trouble replicating.

Nevermind, replicated it. Changing start = max(start, 1) to start = max(start, 0) DOES fix. Writing a test case now.

Here's a patch. Very, very simple, just changed that one line in inspect.py and wrote a highly primitive test case for inspect.getframeinfo. The test isn't actually testing the primary functionality right now, just this one bug. I can probably write more expansive coverage later, but in the interest of an expeditious reply I'm submitting now.

I have just hit this bug and independently invented the exact fix of changing the zero for a one. Any chance of getting this merged?

Thanks for the patch Sam and thanks for the ping Peter!

start is bounded to 0 twice.    start = max(start, 0)    start = max(0, min(start, len(lines) - context))The first line can be just removed. Or two above lines can be rewritten as:    start = min(start, len(lines) - context)    start = max(start, 0)

You're right. Thanks for the review, Serhiy!
