[issue6712] sys._getframe is not available on all Python implementations

Michael Foord added the comment: I meant in IronPython of course. D'oh. Anyway, I made the change to inspect to keep it compatible with IronPython so I can make the documentation change. A mention in the sys._getframe docs that it is not guaranteed to exist across implementations would be usefu

Brett Cannon added the comment: It sounds like inspect needs to have its docs updated such that it makes it explicit inspect.currentframe() requires sys._getframe() to exist to return anything of use (the code returns None in other cases). So the public API can exist, but it needs to say what

New submission from Johannes Janssen : As I learned on the mailing list the function sys._getframe() is not available on all Python implementations (e.g. jython). This information should be added to the documentation. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 91629 no
