The following works, but only on implementations which provide stack frame
support. As the docs kindly point out:

    "...this isn't guaranteed to exist in all implementations of Python."

Example code:


    import inspect
    def foo():
        '''Print my own name.'''
        frame_info = inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe())
        print(frame_info.function)


    foo()


That said, there's probably a better way to solve whatever bigger problem
you're trying solve.
