| What does “…locals() or globals() introspection…” mean?
Please prove to me that “… it lead to issues with garbage collection, introduce security vulnerabilities and create thread safety concerns”.
I won’t be moving beyond Python.
What do you mean by “…domain-specific…”!

I don't think we should add such functionality to the library. I would not use locals() or globals() introspection in library because it lead to issues with garbage collection, introduce security vulnerabilities, and create thread safety concerns. I think you would need to move beyond Python and use a different domain-specific language or user interface to implement such functionality in a secure way. I suggest consulting with experienced software engineers or IT agencies to implement that approach. On Wednesday, June 25, 2025 at 8:17:49 PM UTC+2 stephen.j...@gmail.com wrote:
My “use case” is that suppose you are executing Python code in the Mac terminal application to test out some code and you lose track of what variables you have created and you want to delete some or all of them to start over.
A function which lists all the created variables would be useful so you can delete them all and start over. A very basic function.
