Retrieve class name of caller

[Koen Van Herck]

For debugging/logging purposes, I have a function

def Log(msg):
print '%s.%s: %s' % (cls, method, msg)

I call this function from a class method, and I would like to retrieve
the name of the caller method and its class. I already came up with

method = sys._getframe(1 ).f_code.co_nam e
cls = sys._getframe(1 ).f_locals['self'].__class__

I wonder if there are better ways to retrieve this info. In
particular, my implementation assumes that the instance parameter of
the method is called 'self', which it usually is, of course.

Regards,
Koen.

Take look to the inspect module. Could be what you need (and even more).

OK. But if I have the frame or code object, how can I get the method
or function object? For example, for a method m I have code object c:

c = m.im_func.func_ code

How can I find m from c ?
