Function reference -> name?

[Rene Pijlman]

When I have a reference to a function (as in parameter 'function' of f1
below), how can I get the name of that function ('f2' in the example
below)?

def f1(function):
pass
# How to get 'f2' from function?

def f2():
pass

f1(f2)

This will give you the name under which the function was originally
defined, which of course may not be the name of the variable at the time
you passed it in. Also if it was a lambda function you get the name
'<lambda>', and if it is some other sort of callable object it may or may
not have a __name__ attribute.

Of course.

I forgot to mention that the function reference is an XML-RPC client stub,
which makes quite a difference :-)

dir() told me I need functionReferen ce._Method__nam e in that case.

Thanks Emile and Duncan.
