> Usually the calling function object should be enough. I want to at least provide some historical context on why sys._getframe() exists. I originally wrote that to support PEP 292 and internationalization in Mailman. This has since been extracted into the flufl.i18n package. Here is the use of sys._getframe() in that library: https://gitlab.com/warsaw/flufl.i18n/-/blob/main/src/flufl/i18n/_translator.py#L65 You can see that the reason this exists is to dig out the local and globals of the context in which the _() function is invoked. This greatly reduces the need to repeat yourself in i18n call sites. https://flufli18n.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html#substitutions-and-placeholders I'm not saying sys._getfunc() is or isn't useful, but it won't change original need for sys._getframe(). ---------- nosy: +barry _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
