Following this up, I did a search for "__locals__" Python. The most interesting link I found was <quote> Implement PEP 422: Simple class initialisation hook https://bugs.python.org/issue17044#msg184195 Nick Coghlan wrote: Oh, that's bizarre - the presence of __locals__ is a side effect of calling locals() in the class body. So perhaps passing the namespace as a separate __init_class__ parameter is a better option. </quote> So it looks like (i) there's some complexity associated with locals(), and (ii) if we wish, it seems that __locals__ is available as a keyword identifier. Finally, another way to see that there's no race condition. The Python debugger supports inspection of stack frames. And it's a pure Python module. https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.7/Lib/pdb.py -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
