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.

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,
