Why? Of what value would that be?
Note that I'm not merely being obstructionist here. What you're asking
here is not something that a Python programmer would normally ask. The
compiled code in a function, for example, exists as an object without a
name. That unnamed object can be bound to one or more function names, but
the code doesn't know that. Example:
def one():
print( "Here's one" )
two = one
That creates one function object, bound to two names. What name would you
expect to grab inside the function?
Even more obscure:
two = lamba : "one"
one = two
Which one of these is the "name" of the function?
