This will work, but I'm getting out of my depth as to whether its a good idea to do or not.
import sys def testFunc(): ''' Here is my doc string''' n = sys._getframe().f_code.co_name print eval(n).__doc__ testFunc() The issue being that n is a simply a string containing the name of the function. You'll need the actual function itself to get its docstring. -Josh On 21 Mar 2007 12:47:06 -0700, gtb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Greetings, Don't know the daily limit for dumb questions so I will ask one or more. In a function I can use the statement n = sys._getframe().f_code.co_name to get the name of the current function. Given that I can get the name how can I print the __doc__ string? I cant use the following, it will tell me to bugger off as the string has no such attribute. def spam(self): n = sys._getframe().f_code.co_name print n.__doc__ #Wrong print __doc__ #No good either #.... thanx, gtb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
