Use the inspect module to find out what you need.

By rolling it up neatly in a function?
>>> def printcaller():
print inspect.stack()[1][3]
return True
>>> def func1():
return printcaller()
>>> func1()
func1
True
But remember this prints the name under which the function was created, not
the name of the variable in which it is stored:
>>> func2 = func1
>>> func2()
func1
