[issue17735] inspect.findsource throws IndexError

[Kyle Simpson]

Kyle Simpson added the comment:

Right, this issue is about the IndexError.

The current patch for issue 1218234 doesn't solve this problem. You will still get IndexErrors, but you will get them when functions are removed rather than when functions are added.

I think we should simply throw an IOError instead of an IndexError. This matches the docstring and prevents help() from blowing up after reloading a module.
