If you import the code into the interpreter as an adjunct to reading it
you can see the locals with:

 >>> somefunc.func_code.co_varnames # 2.x
 >>> somefunc.__code__.co_varnames  # 3.x

 >>> inspect.isgenerator(somefunc)

However, a dedicated code reader built around the inspect module could
be a handy tool.
