IronPython sys._getframe not found

Question

I\'m currently building a program in C# which will call functions in provided python script files.
Some of these script files calls _getframe() in sys

Answer 1

A little out of the scope of the question, but meant for anyone else getting this error by invoking a Python script using the ipy.exe interpreter directly.

You can just add the argument -X:FullFrames. So for example invoke the script like

ipy.exe -X:FullFrames script.py

Answer 2

When creating the PythonEngine you can pass a dictionary of options; you just need to set the "Frames" and/or "FullFrames" keys in the dictionary to true:

var options = new Dictionary<string, object>();
options["Frames"] = true;
options["FullFrames"] = true;
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine(options);

If you don't want FullFrames, just leave it out or set it to false.
