I need access to a function object that corresponds to a frame object in a certain case from inside the function.
I can get the frame object using:
f = sys._getframe(0)
But the resulting frame object doesn't contain the information I need. There is a lot of information in the code object (f.f_code), but not the actual function or method object.
The inspect module doesn't help either it just provides nicer interface to the Frame object.
Any ideas out there?
Can you look up the code's co_name in the previous frame's locals?
py> def getself():
... frame = sys._getframe(1)
... return frame.f_back.f_locals[frame.f_code.co_name]
...
py> def g():
... def h():
... return getself()
... return dict(g=getself(), h=h())
...
py> g()
{'h': <function h at 0x01194BB0>, 'g': <function g at 0x01194BF0>}You probably also need to check the previous frame's globals... And there are probably some cases where this code still wouldn't work...
