Is there a generic way for a function to reference itself?

Question

I can access a python function\'s attribute inside of function itself by below code:

def aa():
    print aa.__name__
    print aa.__hash__
    # other simlia

http://docs.python.org/library/inspect.html looks promising:

import inspect
def foo():
     felf = globals()[inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe()).function]
     print felf.__name__, felf.__doc__

you can also use the sys module to get the name of the current function:

import sys
def bar():
     felf = globals()[sys._getframe().f_code.co_name]
     print felf.__name__, felf.__doc__
