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

import inspect

def foo():
   print(inspect.stack()[0][3])

where

• stack()[0] is the caller

• stack()[3] is the string name of the method
