Name of function caller

[HMS Surprise]

Is there a way that a function may access the doc string or func_name
of the caller?

Thanks,

Yes. The inspect module allows you to look up the call stack for
information on the caller, the caller's caller, local vars, etc.

Thanks Paul.

Running jython 2.2. No module named inspect or cInspect

According to the current docs, inspect was new in Python 2.1. You've
been in more strife than Paris Hilton recently and it's hard to keep
track, but IIRC you're the guy with the badly-stuffed sys.path ...
have a look on your disk(s). OTOH maybe inspect depends on the
internal call stack implementation --- in that case you would need to
ask on the jython mailing-list.

HTH,

Add a parameter to the function to avoid mutilating your code with
implementation specific inspection:

def fun(caller, *original_param eters):
do_something_to _caller_without _magic(caller)
do_something_wi th_original_par ameters(*origin al_parameters)
