How to get a function name as a string?

Question

In Python, how do I get a function name as a string, without calling the function?

def my_function():
    pass

print get_function_name_as_string(my_function         


        

Answer 1

This function will return the caller's function name.

def func_name():
    import traceback
    return traceback.extract_stack(None, 2)[0][2]

It is like Albert Vonpupp's answer with a friendly wrapper.
