grep is your friend:
$ grep "locals()" /usr/lib/python2.5/*.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/decimal.py: for name, val in locals().items():
/usr/lib/python2.5/doctest.py: return __import__(module, globals(),
locals(), ["*"])
/usr/lib/python2.5/profile.py: p.runctx('f(m)', globals(), locals())
/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py: docloc = '<br><a
href="%(docloc)s">Module Docs</a>' % locals()
/usr/lib/python2.5/smtpd.py: mod = __import__(classname[:lastdot],
globals(), locals(), [""])
