# Module: `utils.ulinecache`

Wrapper around linecache which decodes files to unicode according to PEP 263.

This is only needed for Python 2 - linecache in Python 3 does the same thing itself.

## 2 Functions

`IPython.utils.ulinecache.``getlines`(filename, module_globals=None)

  Get the lines (as unicode) for a file from the cache. Update the cache if it doesn’t contain an entry for this file already.

`IPython.utils.ulinecache.``getline`(filename, lineno, module_globals=None)
