That's assuming that it knows its own name, and that that name hasn't been rebound. Is there a way for a function to find its own self? >>> def findself(): """Find myself. Ooh look, there I am!""" import sys try: 1/0 except: traceback=sys.exc_info()[2] # Now I'm not sure what to do with traceback. # traceback.tb_frame.f_code.co_name is the function name ("findself"). # Is there a way to get the function object? I'm kinda half-way there, but I've never worked with traceback objects. Someone will know, I'm sure! ChrisA ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
