What (if anything) are my other options?
How about this? # module A.py import inspect def spam(): return inspect.stack()[1][0].f_globals # module B.py import A print(A.spam() is globals()) # prints True def f(): return A.spam() # module C.py import B print(B.f() is vars(B)) # prints True I don't really know what I'm doing but I guess it won't work in alternative implementations of Python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
