Doesn't work for me either:
>>> def magic(arg):
... import inspect
... return inspect.stack()[1][4][0].split("magic")[-1][1:-1]
...
>>> magic(3+4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 3, in magic
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
Kay gets an AssertionError, I get a TypeError. I think describing it as
"proof of concept" is rather optimistic.
Here is the inspect.stack() I get:
[(<frame object at 0x825d974>, '<stdin>', 2, 'magic', None, None),
(<frame object at 0x8256534>, '<stdin>', 1, '?', None, None)]
