The source line showed in the traceback could not be the same line
executed.

Take a look to this example:

k.py:
def f():
    a,b,c = 1,2

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "k.py", line 2, in f
    a,b,c = 1,2
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

k.py:
def f():
    # blah
    a,b = 1,2

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "k.py", line 2, in f
    # blah
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

That is strange, I think Python does not save the original code in any place.
