I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. There is no possible way for one() and two() as shown above to report different names, because they are the same function object. py> two = lambda : "one" py> one = two py> one is two True py> one, two (<function <lambda> at 0xb7abd92c>, <function <lambda> at 0xb7abd92c>) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
