The code that calls the debugging hook calls PyFrame_FastToLocals() before invoking the debugger, and then PyFrame_LocalsToFast() afterwards. Thus, the interrupted frame can have its locals modified, but no others can. In order for this to work on other frames, you'd have to explicitly call PyFrame_FastToLocals(frame, 1) -- which you could probably do with ctypes or a C extension. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
