Comment:
This patch adds a function to the sys module which will return a frame object. By default, it returns the frame object of the current stack frame, but an optional integer argument can be supplied to retrieve any frame higher up the stack. If the integer is greater than the depth of the stack, a ValueError is raised.

Comment:
My only comment on the docs (both docstring and LaTeX) is that it should say "ValueError is raised" rather than "a ValueError is raised" (drop the "a"). Otherwise looks good; I've not run it through the formatting.

Comment:
The docstring and docs should say that the default depth is zero.
They should also mention that this is for internal use only.
Can you implement this in Jython too?
