Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a generic logging function, and I'm able to get
at the name of the module and class using the built-in attributes
__module__, __class__, and __name__.

But I wasn't sure how to also grab the name of the function or method,
so that when an error occurs, I can log the name of the failing method
as well.

Using sys._getframe() you can get the name of the current function or
the name of the calling function. Getting the name of the caller means
you can wrap your logger into a function. See this recipe:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/66062/

Or just use the built-in logging module which lets you specify
the containing function name as one of its formatting keywords:
