Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu> added the comment: The doc string seems correct, so I agree. A condensed and improved version of the docstring (with *depth* italicized as usual) might be inspect.currentframe(depth=0) Return the frame object depth calls below the top of the stack. If there is none, raise ValueError. I do not think the internal comment is correct when it is exposed like this. Everything in inspect is specialized. The doc string could be similarly condensed. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl -> docs@python keywords: +patch nosy: +docs@python, tjreedy versions: -Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6678> _______________________________________
