There's not a really good way to do this. Can you give some more detail on what exactly you're trying to do here? Depending on a function's name within that function is probably a bad idea... You *can* do this using a sys._getframe() hack: py> def my_func(): ... print sys._getframe().f_code.co_name ... py> my_func() my_func But that depends on a non-public API. Also, what do you want to happen if someone binds another name to your function? The code above will print the original name even if it's different from the new name(s): py> g = my_func py> del my_func py> g() my_func py> my_func() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
