Yep, that's because Python is very flexible and provides means for 
changing even that. So, it's not part of the __code__ object but part of 
the actual function. That's okay.

Exactly. Except __globals__ we are all set and I think that'll work for 
us. I will report once we've implemented it that way.

Best,
