tree.fm – Tune Into Forests From Around The World 🌳🔈

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.

from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo

print(f"Line {getframeinfo(currentframe().lineno)}")

filename and line number of Python script

How can I get the file name and line number in a Python script? Exactly the file information we get from an exception traceback. In this case without raising an exception.
