title: Access parent namespace in python
body: <pre><code>def c():
      def a():
          print dir()
  
      def b():
          pass
  
      a()
  
  c()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Probably a really simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer by googling. I have the code above, and I want the a method to print the namespace containing the methods a and b, i.e. I want it to print the namespace of the point form which it is called. Is this possible? Preferably in Python 2.x</p>
