The locals() function could be evaluated in the wrong context, e.g. in dict comprehension

0.6.8.4 (pip version) Python: 3.8.2 (default, Apr 27 2020, 15:53:34) Executable: /home/jack/oggreader/venv/bin/python OS: Linux Arch: x86_64

returning locals() from comprehension returns empty dict without warnings

from typing import Dict, Any
def foo() -> Dict[str,Any]:
    bar: str = "asd"
    return {x:y for x,y in locals().items()}
print(foo())

prints {}

copying the locals() to var solves the problem

from typing import Dict, Any
def foo() -> Dict[str,Any]:
    bar: str = "asd"
    copy = locals()
    return {x:y for x,y in copy.items()}
print(foo())

prints {‘bar’: ‘asd’}

without comprehension everything works as expected

from typing import Dict, Any
def foo() -> Dict[str,Any]:
    bar: str = "asd"
    return locals()
print(foo())

prints {‘bar’: ‘asd’}

I made a pre-release with this contained. This has drawn more and more circles, esp. as the code turned out to now highlight weaknesses in the loop tracing, which had to be ironed out. However, all good now.

This is the last release 0.6.9 already for a while.
