For debugging purposes, _s = sys._getframe(0).f_code.co_name should work (after you've done an "import sys" somewhere appropriate, of course;-). The _ in front of _getframe, as well as the klunkiness of it all, are all indications that this is _not_ recommended for "production use" -- like most of Python's introspection features, it IS chiefly meant for debugging purposes.
