Bug report

Bug description:

This includes any function that calls_PyEval_GetGlobals() or_PyEval_GetFrameLocals(). Here's a list of the ones I noticed:

• globals()
• locals()
• dir()
• vars()
• exec()
• eval()

For example:

fromconcurrentimportinterpretersinterp=interpreters.create()# This raises SystemError.interp.call(eval,'True')

Ideally it would fall back to__main__.__dict__ for the globals and locals.

FWIW, this is most obvious with subinterpreters, but a similar problem applies to any user of the C-API that doesn't have a frame set.

CPython versions tested on:
