How to get the function name as string in Python?
I have a function named func, I'd like to be able to get the functions name as a string.
pseudo-python :
def func () :
pass
print name(func)
This would print 'func'.
That's simple.
print func.__name__
EDIT: But you must be careful:
>>> def func():
... pass
...
>>> new_func = func
>>> print func.__name__
func
>>> print new_func.__name__
func
Use __name__.
Example:
def foobar():
pass
bar = foobar
print foobar.__name__ # prints foobar
print bar.__name__ # still prints foobar
For an overview about introspection with python have a look at http://docs.python.org/library/inspect.html
A couple more ways to do it:
>>> def foo(arg):
... return arg[::-1]
>>> f = foo
>>> f.__name__
'foo'
>>> f.func_name
'foo'
>>> f.func_code.co_name
'foo'
