Here's one approach:

    >>> def f():
    ...     x = 10
    ...     def g():
    ...             a = x
    ...     return g
    ...
    >>> f().func_closure
    (<cell at 0xb7d47494: int object at 0x8141d44>,)
    >>>

I don't know what your use-case is, so I have no idea if this is the
kind of solution you're looking for.
