Obtaining stack frame

Question

How do I get a stack frame to pass into traceback.print_stack?

 Suppose I want to print the stack trace starting one level above the invocation point. How can I do that?

Answer 1

inspect.stack() will get you the current stack as a list. You can pick any frame you want out of it. You can also use inspect.currentframe().f_back to get your caller's frame. Basically, the inspect module is where it's at.
