The ability to access the undecorated function would be of great help in our Django-based project. Django is very decorator-happy, and we are trying to introspect code and, given a particular URL, determine the innermost function (more precisely, what location in our code) that actually handles that URL.
Is that a use-case of interest?
I shouldn't think the proposed __func__ local would be of any use here, because it is local to the function. As I understand your use-case, you need to inspect a function from the outside, where __func__ is not available, and peel back all the decorators to the innermost function. To do that, I would start by looking at: function.__closure__[0].cell_contents and recurse as necessary. -- Steven
