Hi,
consider the following piece of code, please

I tried to look at globals() and locals(), gave a look to the frames
(sys._getframe(0) and sys._getframe(1),
but did not see a possibility to access the information a want
How can this be done?
TIA

It's naive to think this question even makes sense. There are many
ways f can be called which don't involve a parameter:
That's worded poorly, Rather I should have said: "don't involve a
parameter that comes from a single variable."
f(42)
f(time())
f(a+123)
f(sin(a))
f(f(1))
and so on.
Cheers,
