[Python-Dev] nonlocals() function? (original) (raw)

What do we think of adding a built-in nonlocals() function that would be similar to globals() and locals()? Like those functions, it would return a dictionary of variable names and their values. Since we now have the nonlocal statement, it would be consistent to keep the three scopes local/nonlocal/global with parallel capabilities. And it might sometimes be useful for code inside a nested function to see what variables are available at the enclosing level.
