Access function name from within a function

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi,
i would liek to define an error routine which print amongs other things 
the name of the function from which it has been called.

Having tried

def foo():
   print dir()

and all other ideas which came to my (rather python newbie) mind.

Googling too did not show me a possibility.

IOW what I'm looking for is:

def bar():
   name = some_function(some-parameter)
   print name

should print 'bar'

Any ideas appreciated

Hellmut
