Have a look at Logger.findCaller() in logging/__init__.py. To find the calling function it does something like for frame in walk_callstack(): if filename_of(frame) == _srcfile: continue return filename_lineno_and_functionname_of(frame) The _srcfile is normally logging/__init__.py, and it is skipped because a user typically is interested only in what happens outside the logging package. My hack under the hood changes filename_of(frame) == _srcfile from a string comparison to a filename_of(frame) in set_of_files containment test (see SrcFile.__eq__() posted above).
