How do I get the name of a function or method from within a Python function or method?

by

This seems to be the simplest way using module inspect:

import inspect
def somefunc(a,b,c):
    print "My name is: %s" % inspect.stack()[0][3]

You could generalise this with:

def funcname():
    return inspect.stack()[1][3]

def somefunc(a,b,c):
    print "My name is: %s" % funcname()
