I haven't had a chance to go through all your changes, and I'm only very vaguely familiar with this space anyway, but isn't WITH_NEXT_FRAMEWORK a compile-time option? I'm sure that's how it was used in the old getpath.

warn(str(globals())) or some variant at the top of getpath.py should do it. There's also an "#if 0" section in getpath.c that will print it out (unless I deleted it before merging). There's nothing permanently built in to do this, as I suspect the security concerns (information leakage) would come up more often than the debugging concerns.
