sys._getframe() would help you here: >>> import sys >>> sys._getframe() <frame object at 0x00B496D0> >>> def f(): ... global x ... x = sys._getframe() ... >>> f() >>> x <frame object at 0x00B15250> >>> dir(x) [..., 'f_builtins', 'f_code', 'f_exc_traceback', 'f_exc_type', ...] >>> dir(x.f_code) [...'co_name', 'co_names', 'co_nlocals', 'co_stacksize', 'co_varnames'] >>> x.f_code.co_name 'f' So your function could be: >>> import sys >>> def cap(): ... print 'function name is', sys._getframe().f_code.co_name ... >>> cap() function name is cap -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
