locals(),

locals() -> a dict of local variables

>>> locals()
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>}

see also: globals

# test.py {: id="test.py" }


def see_local_vars(v1, v2):
        z = 'blah blah'
        loc = locals()
        print(f'locals: {loc}')


see_local_vars('x', 'y')

$ python test.py

locals: {'v1': 'x', 'v2': 'y', 'z': 'blah blah'}

LEGB rule: local -> enclosing -> global -> built-in when resolving namespace

>>> def print(var): return 'blah blah blah'
...
>>> print('hello world')
'blah blah blah'
