Equivalent to __func__ (from C) in Python

Question

I want to create some kind of debug output for python and want to pass a function name to another function for output.

The only reasonable way I found was as follows:

def foobar():
  print 'hello world'

  print foobar.__name__

is there something that does the same for the current function to improve copying and pasting this line?

as is the C-equivalent printf("%s", __func__).

Answer 1

sys._getframe can do this:

import sys

def foobar():
    print sys._getframe().f_code.co_name

Answer 2

One thing you could try is to create a decorator that does this:

def traceme(func):
  def newfunc(*args, **kwargs):
    ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
    print func.__name__
    return ret
  return newfunc

@traceme
def foobar():
  print 'hello world'

print sys._getframe().f_code.co_name

( ):

def function_name():
    return sys._getframe().f_back.f_code.co_name

, , :

>>> def bar():
...     return function_name()
... 
>>> bar()
'bar'
