Hello all,
If this is being considered for inclusion in the standard library, using _getframe' hackery will guarantee that it doesn't work with alternative implementations of Python (like IronPython at least which doesn't have Python stack frames).
At least wrapping it in a try/except would be helpful.
All the best,
Michael Foord
