How to get a unique function name for methods

[Philip Guo]

Hi all,

This is my first post, so sorry for the n00bish question.  Let's say I have
2 classes with the same __init__ method defined in a file foo.py:

class A:
  def __init__(self):
    pass

class B:
  def __init__(self):
    pass

For the purpose of a code analysis, I need to get a UNIQUE name for each of
the two __init__ methods.  In the Python code object, i can get co_name and
co_filename, which returns me the method name and filename, respectively,
but NOT the enclosing classname.  This is a problem since both A.__init__
and B.__init__ will show up as {co_name: "__init__", co_filename: "foo.py"}
in my analysis.  Ideally, I want to distinguish them by their class names:

{co_name: "__init__", co_filename: "foo.py", classname: "A"}
{co_name: "__init__", co_filename: "foo.py", classname: "B"}

(Simply using their line numbers isn't gonna work for me, I need their class
names.)

Does anyone know how to get this information either from a code object or
from a related object?  I am hacking the interpreter, so I have full access
to everything.

Thanks in advance,
Philip
