As Ian said, you almost certainly do not want to do this. But if you
have a solid use-case that involves finding the caller's globals, you
can do it (in CPython - no idea about other Pythons) with the
backtrace.

Normally, passing dictionaries around is going to be MUCH more useful.
(And probably not actually globals(), you almost never want to use
that.)
