Here is one example:
<pre>
from traceback import extract_stack as tb_extract_stack,
def caller(up=0):
'''Get file name, line number, function name and
source text of the caller's caller as 4-tuple:
(file, line, func, text).
The optional argument 'up' allows retrieval of
a caller further back up into the call stack.
Note, the source text may be None and function
name may be '?' in the returned result. In
Python 2.3+ the file name may be an absolute
path.
'''
try: # just get a few frames
f = tb_extract_stack(limit=up+2)
if f:
return f[0]
except:
pass
# running with psyco?
return ('', 0, '', None)
</pre>

Is there any way to determine the file and line number (if any) of a

Many Thanks in advance,
