New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>:
Based on the python-ideas thread about closures, I realised there are two
features the inspect module could offer to greatly simplify some aspects of
testing closure and generator behaviour:
inspect.getclosure(func)
Returns a dictionary mapping closure references from the supplied function
to their current values.
inspect.getgeneratorlocals(generator)
Returns the same result as would be reported by calling locals() in the
generator's frame of execution
The former would just involve syncing up the names on the code object with the
cell references on the function object, while the latter would be equivalent to
doing generator.gi_frame.f_locals with some nice error checking for when the
generator's frame is already gone (or the supplied object isn't a generator
iterator).
