As other have said, this is not often a good idea. That said, it is
possible to inspect the call stack to see what called a particular
function, like this (python 3.3):
iimport inspect
def funcA():
caller = inspect.stack()[1][3]
print('funcA was called by ' + caller)
if caller == '<module>':
print("running from funcA")# print only if running from funcA
if caller in ('<module>', 'funcB'):
print("running from funcA or funcB") # print when running from
either function
if caller == 'funcB':
print("running from funcB") # print only when running from funcB
def funcB():
funcA()
print('----- Calling funcA() directly -----')
funcA()
print('----- Calling funcB() -----')
funcB()
Output:
>>>
----- Calling funcA() directly -----
funcA was called by <module>
running from funcA
running from funcA or funcB
----- Calling funcB() -----
funcA was called by funcB
running from funcA or funcB
running from funcB
>>>
