Probably, but it's dirty like help (sys._getframe would be your ticket
into this), but you ask on the tutor mailing list, so you'll probably
don't want this:
def func(x):
return 2 * x
gunc = func
del func
print gunc(10)
The best you can hope to derive is "func" here, but as you can see,
functions are only objects that can be assigned freely.
(Spoiler: it's sys._getframe(0).f_code.co_name, but it will always
only know the name the function was defined under. No way to know how
it was named when it was called. So it's not worth much.)
