Presumably 'one'. > Even more obscure: > > two = lamba : "one" > one = two > > Which one of these is the "name" of the function? I would say '<lambda>'. Whatever method is used to get the function's name, I would expect it to match the __name__ attribute of the function (which is a peer to __code__, but I don't think the function's code *is* the function).
