Not sure why you would want to do this, but there are several ways.

1. Make bytecode hack decorator that transforms the final "return
None" into "return locals()".  A recipe that shows the basic technique
is at: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/277940

2. Retrieve the source using inspect.getsourcelines(f). Then, append a
"return locals()" to the end of the function and run it through exec.

3. Try hacking a tracing/debugging utility.

4. Run the sourcefile through tokenize, make the appropriate
insertion, and then untokenize.
