Python: How to get information from a variable
Ok, this is maybe a difficult question. And I don't want you to do all the hard work for me. I'm just tring to get some good advices and points where I should start.

I'm writing a couple of python programs and i'm having a bad time debugging those. So i'd like to create a simple debug function that records a couple of things.

This is how I'd use it:

    # Defined in random_function_definitios.py
    def some_random_function():
      a = 1 + 1
      debug(a)
      # More stuff

I'd like to display in debug this information:

 - The function that invoked it: some_random_function
 - The filename where that function is defined: random_function_definitios.py
 - The line number: 4
 - Some context: Global variables defined and local variables defined.

I've been taking a look at the inspect module and the frame builtin object. But i'm not completely sure if i'm in the right direction.

Thank you!
