Cell objects are created whenever you have a function that references a
variable in an outer scope. e.g.
>>> def outer():
x = 42
def inner():
return x
return inner
>>> inner = outer()
>>> inner.func_closure[0]
<cell at 0x00C5D450: int object at 0x009657AC>
>>> inner.func_closure[0].cell_contents
42
So in your case, cell.cell_contents.func_name might help.
