So, define it -- as a function, of course:
def func_name():
import sys
return sys._getframe(1).f_code.co_name
def foo():
print func_name()
def bar():
print func_name()
No doubt you'll object that the internals of func_name are "ugly", but
the point is that it can be hidden anywhere you like, so its internals
are as irrelevant as they would be if it was a built-in.
