Call python function as if it were inline

Question

I want to have a function in a different module, that when called, has access to all variables that its caller has access to, and functions just as if its body had been pasted into the caller rather than having its own context, basically like a C Macro instead of a normal function. I know I can pass locals() into the function and then it can access the local variables as a dict, but I want to be able to access them normally (eg x.y, not x["y"] and I want all names the caller has access to not just the locals, as well as things that were 'imported' into the caller's file but not into the module that contains the function.

Is this possible to pull off?

Edit 2 Here's the simplest possible example I can come up with of what I'm really trying to do:

def getObj(expression)
  ofs = expression.rfind(".")
  obj = eval(expression[:ofs])  
  print "The part of the expression Left of the period is of type ", type(obj), 

Problem is that 'expression' requires the imports and local variables of the caller in order to eval without error.In reality theres a lot more than just an eval, so I'm trying to avoid the solution of just passing locals() in and through to the eval() since that won't fix my general case problem.

Answer 1

And another, even uglier way to do it -- please don't do this, even if it's possible --

import sys

def insp():
    l = sys._getframe(1).f_locals
    expression = l["expression"]
    ofs = expression.rfind(".")
    expofs = expression[:ofs]
    obj = eval(expofs, globals(), l)
    print "The part of the expression %r Left of the period (%r) is of type %r" % (expression, expofs, type(obj)), 

def foo():
    derp = 5
    expression = "derp.durr"
    insp()

foo()

outputs

The part of the expression 'derp.durr' Left of the period ('derp') is of type (type 'int')
