You *can* get at that kind of information: The traceback module has a
function called "extract_stack" which can give you a pointer to the
whole execution stack.  From that can be generated all the usual stuff
you see in a traceback -- including file and line information.  *How*
you extract that stuff, I'll leave as an exercises for the reader.
(Meaning I haven't a clue.)
