Nope.  However, I expect that globals would be even easier.  If you want to 
freeze all the variables, you can just replace func_globals with  
func_globals.copy().  Otherwise, you can replace it with some proxy object 
that would read from your dict and fall back to the real globals if 
necessary.  (Probably subclass dict with the __missing__ method.)

Or at least I think that would work.  I don't have time to try it now...
