>>> def f():
...   raise "hiya!"
... 
>>> from bytecodehacks import common
>>> import new
>>> f=new.function(common.copy_code_with_changes(
...   f.func_code,filename="whatever.c"),f.func_globals)
>>> f()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "whatever.c", line 2, in f
hiya!
>>> 

Is this helping?
