Courtesy of the "Observations on the three pillars of Python execution" thread:
from inspect import currentframe
def foobar():
my_name = currentframe().f_code.co_name
print(my_name)
I would recommend against a function knowing its own name though,
unless it's for debugging or necessary metaprogramming purposes.
