How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb

cpuguy83

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"os"

	"github.com/containerd/containerd/content/local"
	"github.com/containerd/containerd/images"
