[issue13231] sys.settrace - document 'some other code blocks' for 'call' event type

[Mark Lawrence]

Mark Lawrence added the comment:

I find this request excessive.  The first sentence for sys.settrace states "Set 
the system’s trace function, which allows you to implement a Python source code 
debugger in Python".  I suspect that anyone wanting to write a debugger would 
know the Python and its documentation better than the back of their hand.  So I 
say close as "won't fix" but I wouldn't argue if anyone disagreed and wanted to 
provide a patch.

[issue13231] sys.settrace - document 'some other code blocks' for 'call' event type

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik :

http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.settrace

While writing settrace function you need to know what kind of data is expected 
and how to get more information about it. Current documentation for 
sys.settrace doesn't give too much answers. To improve that situation at least 
with 'call' event:

 1. Link 'frame' to the middle of table on inspect module page [1]
 2. List all possible 'code blocks' for 'call' event (I know there is module in 
addition to function)
 3. Provide example how to extract popular data for corresponding 'code block' 
(name for functions, name for modules, name for classes/methods, relative file 
path, line no, how to detect labmbda function) in a safe manner (inspect page 
contains some FUD about memory usage)
