Re: [Python-ideas] PEP for executing a module in a package containing relative imports

May 7, 2007

      what about:

if __module__ is __main__:
	...

__module__ is a reference to "this module" and
__main__ is a reference to the module which stated execution

this would have the sideeffect that:

def f():
	__module__.x = 42

equals:

def f():
	global x
	x = 42

etc.

Off Topic:
a __func__ would also be nice:

def foo():
	print __func__.__name__

prints "foo"

def foo():
	x = 1

	def bar():
		__func__.parent.x += 1
		return __func__.parent.x

	return bar

print bar()

prints "2"

well, on second thought this is looks a bit cluttered.
