As jitter points out in an earlier answer sys._current_frames()
gives you what you need for v2.5+. For the lazy the following code snippet worked for me and may help you:
print >> sys.stderr, "\n*** STACKTRACE - START ***\n"
code = []
for threadId, stack in sys._current_frames().items():
code.append("\n# ThreadID: %s" % threadId)
for filename, lineno, name, line in traceback.extract_stack(stack):
code.append('File: "%s", line %d, in %s' % (filename,
lineno, name))
if line:
code.append(" %s" % (line.strip()))
for line in code:
print >> sys.stderr, line
print >> sys.stderr, "\n*** STACKTRACE - END ***\n"
