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 .

Answers

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
