  % cat caller.py
  def caller_locals():
      import sys
      try: raise RuntimeError
      except RuntimeError:
          e,b,t = sys.exc_info()
          caller_locals = t.tb_frame.f_back.f_locals
      print caller_locals

  def somefunc():
      foo = 'bar'
      bat = 'baz'
      caller_locals()

  foo = 'global foo'
  bat = 'global bat'
  somefunc()

  % python caller.py
  {'bat': 'baz', 'foo': 'bar'}

Yours, Lulu...
