[Bug] import statement in method: 'error parsing code, unable to find "debug" function statement'

[Jasha10]

Bug

When the from devtools import debug statement occurs within a method (as opposed to at toplevel of the module), an "error parsing code" message is printed.

Min repro:

The following works as expected:

# tmp.py
from devtools import debug
def foo():
    debug(123)
foo()

$ python tmp.py
tmp.py:4 foo
    123 (int)

But if you put the import statement inside the method, there is an error:

# tmp2.py
def foo():
    from devtools import debug
    debug(123)
foo()

$ python tmp2.py
tmp2.py:4 foo (error parsing code, unable to find "debug" function statement)
    123 (int)

ye, to find the text inside the parentheses debug('this bit'), devtools has to search the string from the line where debug() is called.

That means sometimes it finds the wrong reference to debug(). If you can find a fix, happy to accept, but I don't have time to work on this right now.

This is fixed in #82

Good point, I had a vague memory that this should be fixed. I'll look at that soon.
