PyFrameObject* `PyEval_GetFrame`(void)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Return the current thread state’s frame, which is `NULL` if no frame is currently executing.

  See also `PyThreadState_GetFrame()`.

PyFrameObject* `PyFrame_GetBack`(PyFrameObject *frame)

  Get the frame next outer frame.

  Return a strong reference, or `NULL` if frame has no outer frame.

  frame must not be `NULL`.

PyCodeObject* `PyFrame_GetCode`(PyFrameObject *frame)

  Get the frame code.

  Return a strong reference.

  frame must not be `NULL`. The result (frame code) cannot be `NULL`.

int `PyFrame_GetLineNumber`(PyFrameObject *frame)

  Return the line number that frame is currently executing.

  frame must not be `NULL`.

const char* `PyEval_GetFuncName`(PyObject *func)

  Return the name of func if it is a function, class or instance object, else the name of funcs type.

const char* `PyEval_GetFuncDesc`(PyObject *func)
