finally:
del frame
If you want to keep the frame around (for example to print a traceback
later), you can also break reference cycles by using the
:meth:`frame.clear` method.
The optional *context* argument supported by most of these functions specifies
the number of lines of context to return, which are centered around the current
line.

frame). A debugger can implement a Jump command (aka Set Next Statement)
by writing to f_lineno.
Frame objects support one method:
.. method:: frame.clear()
This method clears all references to local variables held by the
frame. Also, if the frame belonged to a generator, the generator
is finalized. This helps break reference cycles involving frame
objects (for example when catching an exception and storing its
traceback for later use).
:exc:`RuntimeError` is raised if the frame is currently executing.
