Name

_getframe

Synopsis

_getframe(depth=0)

Returns a frame object from the call stack. When depth is 0, the result is the frame of _getframe’s caller. When depth is 1, the result is the frame of the caller’s caller, and so forth. The leading _ in _getframe’s name is a reminder that it’s a private system function, to be used for internal specialized purposes. Chapter 17 covers ways in which you can use frame objects for debugging.
