Hi, is it possible to access the values stored on the stack in Python stack machine from Python?
In short: it's possible but very much discouraged. Don't hack into python internals.
Is it possible? I claim it's not (from *Python* because obviously data is in memory).
Nope, it's not.
I took that as a challenge, and just tried to do it using gc.get_referents(). ;-)
Didn't work though... which actually makes me wonder if that's a bug in gc.get_referents(), or whether I'm making a bad assumption about when you'd have to run gc.get_referents() on a frame in order to see items from the value stack included. Could this actually be a bug in frames' GC implementation, or are value stack items not supposed to count for GC purposes?
