This is possible to some degree:
import inspect
def F(a):
frame_obj,filename,line_no,
func_name,contextlines,
contextindex=(inspect.getouterframes(inspect.currentframe()))[1]
print "F(%s) called from '%s' within '%s' line %d" %
(repr(a),filename,func_name,line_no)
for ln,srcline in enumerate(contextlines or []):
print "%3s : %s" % ('*>' if ln==contextindex else '',srcline)
just play around calling the above function from different
places and you should see what I mean :-)
