Add a file parameter

[xmedeko]

If the inserted_path would have the file option, then it could omit calling the sys._getframe. E.g.

>>> with current.inserted_path(file=__file__)
...     import australia

Note, I like to call it like current.inserted_path(__file__), but it would not be backward compatible.

Is there maybe a specific use case (or platform) where the current method fails for you?

AFAIR, the frame-based method was chosen because __file__ does not seem to work for all ways of executing Python, see SO question.

Nope, I have no specific platform failing with current method. I have just seen a few other solutions based on the __file__. And since I have experience from other programming languages that examining stack frames may be unreliable, I have thought the Python's __file__ is a good remedy for that. But I see from the SO answer that you have chosen the best solution and spend a good time to develop and test your solution.

So, now I trust the current method and apologies for wasting your time.

Nothing to apologize. Thanks for yout thoughts on improvement, closing.
