+.. versionadded:: 3.13
+
+The :attr:`~frame.f_locals` attribute on a :ref:`frame object <frame-objects>`
+is an instance of a "frame-locals proxy". The proxy object exposes a
+write-through view of the underlying locals dictionary for the frame. This
+ensures that the variables exposed by ``f_locals`` are always up to date with
+the live local variables in the frame itself.
+
+See :pep:`667` for more information.
