It seems a reasonable thing to suggest. Instead of a copy, locals() could return a mapping object that is a view of the underlying array. The only limitation then would be that you couldn't add new keys. > I initially thought it > was completely read-only, but I find it strange that it affects the > topmost frame correctly That's because the topmost frame has a module's dict as its locals, so in that case you are modifying them directly. It's only code compiled as the body of a function that uses an array for locals. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
