If you are serious about this, then you should start a thread about it.

You should give some examples of which objects need this, and how people 
currently solve the problem, and why it is unsuitable.

If I have understood you correctly, the usual solution to this is to use 
sys._getframe(1). I don't know what Jython and IronPython use.
