Frame Objects
-------------

.. c:type:: PyFrameObject

The C structure of the objects used to describe frame objects.

The structure is not part of the C API.

.. versionchanged:: 3.11
The structure moved to the internal C API headers.

The :c:func:`PyEval_GetFrame` and :c:func:`PyThreadState_GetFrame` functions
can be used to get a frame object.

See also :ref:`Reflection <reflection>`.


.. c:function:: PyFrameObject* PyFrame_GetBack(PyFrameObject *frame)

Get the *frame* next outer frame.

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

*frame* must not be ``NULL``.

.. versionadded:: 3.9


.. c:function:: PyCodeObject* PyFrame_GetCode(PyFrameObject *frame)

Get the *frame* code.

Return a :term:`strong reference`.

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

.. versionadded:: 3.9


.. c:function:: int PyFrame_GetLineNumber(PyFrameObject *frame)

Return the line number that *frame* is currently executing.

*frame* must not be ``NULL``.

.. c:type:: PyFrameObject

The C structure of the objects used to describe frame objects.

The structure is only part of the internal C API: fields should not be
access directly. Use getter functions like :c:func:`PyFrame_GetCode` and
:c:func:`PyFrame_GetBack`.

Debuggers and profilers can use the limited C API to access this structure.
