Hello all, I realise that this may be more relevant to Python ideas, in which case feel free to ignore this (and my apologies).
I occasionally see code looking (something) like : calling_scope = sys._getframe(1).f_globals['__name__'] This looks and smells like a hack (not least because of the warning in the documentation about _getframe), plus stack frames are an implementation detail so this code is broken on IronPython. This makes me sad. It would be great to have a specified way to obtain [a read only view on (?)] the locals and globals from the calling scope. Perhaps built in functions ? If they were specified then the IronPython guys would have to implement it for us. B-) I realise that this can allow bad some bad programming patterns, but there are times when it can be very useful. All the best, Michael Foord _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
