Hi Ben! After looking at the modules I detected the traceback-Module in my installation:
>>> import traceback >>> def two(): ... one() ... >>> two() >>> def one(): ... print traceback.extract_stack() ... >>> def two(): ... one() ... >>> two() [('<stdin>', 1, '?', None), ('<stdin>', 2, 'two', None), ('<stdin>', 2, 'one', None)] maybe this could be a start for your investigation HTH Ewald Ben Vinger wrote: > Hello > > I want myfunction in the pseudocode below return something different if > it was called from indexfunction. > > def indexfunction(): > blah > > def myfunction(): > x = 'whatever' > if <myfunction was called from indexfunction>: > return x > else: > return <header> + x + <footer> > > > Thanks > Ben > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor -- Ing.
