[Python-Dev] Changing a value in a frame (for a debugger)

[Fabio Zadrozny]

Hi All,

I'm currently trying to change the value for a variable in the debugger
using:

frame = findFrame(thread_id, frame_id)
exec '%s=%s' % (attr, expression) in frame.f_globals, frame.f_locals

it works well when the frame for the change is the topmost frame, but fails
otherwise...

I found some references speaking about some issue with PyFrame_FastToLocals
which made it appear like this was not possible to do... so, basically, is
there some way to make this work from python (changing a variable having a
given frame) or not?

Thanks,

Fabio
