pythoninspect

Get current function name from inside that function using Python

I want to log all the names of functions where my code is going. It does not matter who is calling the function.

import inspect

def whoami():
    return inspect.stack()[1][3]

def foo():
    print(whoami())

Currently it prints foo. I want it to print whoami.

Solution

  • You probably want inspect.getframeinfo(frame).function:

    import inspect

def whoami(): 
    frame = inspect.currentframe()
    return inspect.getframeinfo(frame).function

def foo():
    print(whoami())

foo()

    prints

    whoami
