[New-bugs-announce] [issue20290] inspect module bug for modules with same filename

[cqxz]

New submission from cqxz:

When two files have the same name and the first changes directory to the second, the inspect module can retrieve the source code for the latter incorrectly, so a simple call to inspect.stack() can be incorrect, and will fail if there are less lines in the nested module (foo/bar/mod.py) than in the calling module (foo/mod.py)

foo/mod.py
foo/bar/mod.py

(the foo/bar/mod.py need only contain a single line, e.g. print "hello")
