I've submitted an alternative patch that catches the error _getframe 
raises on IronPython. As it is possible that _getframe will work on 
IronPython in the future (although it is likely to be enabled by a 
switch as tracking Python frames has a performance cost) this is a 
slightly more future proof solution.
