Description
Here's an example:
>>> fr = None
>>> def a(p, /, a, *, b):
... global fr
... fr = inspect.currentframe()
...
>>> a(1, 2, b=3)
>>> fr
<frame at 0x101275570, file '<stdin>', line 3, code a>
>>> inspect.getargvalues(fr)
ArgInfo(args=['p', 'a', 'b'], varargs=None, keywords=None, locals={'p': 1, 'a': 2, 'b': 3})Right now inspect.getargvalues treats p, a, and b the same way. It is not very useful. How caller can do anything with these arguments if they all have different semantics? p must always be possitional, a can be both, b can only be keyword argument.
I propose adding inspect.signature support for frame objects and use it.
For example, adding to Signature class
@classmethod
def from_frame(cls, frame): ...will provide a new API to do the same thing, but correctly.
