Hi,
  I'm writing a custom profiler that uses sys.settrace.  I was wondering if there was any way of tracing the assignments of variables inside a function as its executed, without looking at locals() at every single line and comparing them to see if anything has changed.

Sort of like xdebug's collect_assignments parameter in PHP.

thanks,
imran
