[Python-Dev] Accessing value stack

Hi, is it possible to access the values stored on the stack in Python stack machine from Python? As in, consider expression: tmp = foo() + bar() At the point in time when bar() is called, foo() already returned something, and that value is on top of the stack in that frame, a few steps after bar() returns, that value is added to bar and is lost. I would very much like to be able to read (and maybe even change) that ephemeral value. If it is absolutely not possible to achieve from Pythonland, I welcome pointers on how to write a C/cython/types extension to achieve this. Thanks, d.
