Actually, the version checked in to http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/pep3101 currently will search both locals() and globals() if no parameters are passed to format.
It's still a work-in-progress, but has quite a few passing tests, and builds as an extension module on 2.3, 2.4, and 3.0 (probably also 2.5, haven't tried it). The file pep_differences.txt shows the current differences between that and the original PEP.

Since format() is just a normal string method, isn't that going to require some frame hackery? STeVe -- I'm not in-sane. Indeed, I am so far out of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy
