[issue6712] sys._getframe is not available on all Python implementations

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

It's actually quite annoying that inspect takes a private API (that has
warnings in the documentation about its use) and makes it public. It's
just a direct alias. That in itself is not a good reason to say the
_getframe should be public.

Python frames are not available by *default* in Python, because of the
performance cost of using them.
