Python equivalents to MATLAB str2func, func2str, ischar, isfunc?

[dmitrey]

Thank you
(however in MATLAB ischar is the same as isstr)
but what if I don't know the name of module?
I.e. I have

def myfunc(param): ...
#where param can be both funcName or a function, and I want to obtain
both name and func, something like
if isinstance(param, basestring):
   func, funcName = <something>, param
else: func, funcName = param, param.__name__
what should I type instead of <something>?

D.
