Be aware though, that sys._getframe is marked as a private function (the leading underscore), which means that: (1) It only exists in some Python implementations (CPython and possible nothing else?); and (2) It is officially subject to change without warning, although that's unlikely. In practice, it's probably safe to use, but be aware that you are using a documented internal feature. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
