Function attributes

[Muhammad Alkarouri]

Hi everyone,

What is the simplest way to access the attributes of a function from
inside it, other than using its explicit name?
In a function like f below:

def f(*args):
    f.args = args
    print args

is there any other way?
I am guessing the next question will be: should I really care? It just
feels like there should be a way, but I am not able to verbalise a
valid one at the moment, sorry.

Regards,

Muhammad Alkarouri
