This can be done by inspecting the stackframes. Look into the module
inspect. This has also been discussed very often on this list, stackframe &
inspect should be good searchterms.
However, if what you are after is logging, you should take a look into the
logging module. it has many advantages over simple print-statements, and
amongst other things allows you to print out the enclosing callable name
when invoked ala
logger.debug("Some message.")
I strongly recommend using that. And at least you can of course peek into
the logging module's source to see how the extract that information.
