Consider: >>> g=f >>> print g.func_name f of course, the situation can be much more sphisticated. f could be a value in a dict returned by some other function, and so on. Of course there are ways to inspect the source code (like pdb or exceptions do), but are you sure this is the functionality to want? Cheers, - harold - -- Learn from the mistakes of others.
