[Tutor] Equivalent of PHP's __FUNCTION__ ?

[Kent Johnson]

Here is one way to do it, based on this Python Cookbook recipe:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/66062

def debug(msg):
     import sys
     frame = sys._getframe(1)

     name = frame.f_code.co_name
     line_number = frame.f_lineno
     filename = frame.f_code.co_filename

     return 'File "%s", line %d, in %s: %s' % (filename, line_number, name, msg)


def test():
     print debug("Invalid arguments")


test()
