I think this works if you *assign* to f_locals.  When you only *read*
f_locals, you get a copy of the dict.  The assignment is needed to
write the new values back into the frame's real ("optimized") locals:

    inception_locals= sys._getframe().f_back.f_locals
    inception_locals.update (locals)
    sys._getframe().f_back.f_locals = inception_locals


A bientôt,

Armin.
