<p>I just had my first fun with Pep 393 strings and debuggers. Trying to debug a deadlocked python program, I'm trying to figure out the callstack of the thread in the debugger.</p>
<p>I ended up with something like:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(char*)&((PyASCIIObject*)(tstate->frame->f_code->co_filename))[1]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>while previously, it was sufficient to do</p>
<p>(PyUnicodeObject*)(tstate->frame->f_code->co_filename)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously this won't work for non-ASCII objects.</p>
<p>I wonder if there is a way to make this situation easier? Perhaps for "debug" builds, we can store some debug information in the frame object, e.g. utf8 encoding of the filename and function?</p>
