But it can be generalized or extended to more complex situations.</p> How a Python function can find the name of its caller (Python) 2015-09-30T15:12:17-07:00Vasudev Ramhttp://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/4173351/http://code.activestate.com/recipes/579105-how-a-python-function-can-find-the-name-of-its-cal/ <p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579105 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/evaluation/">evaluation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/introspection/">introspection</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sys/">sys</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how a Python function can find out the name of its caller, i.e. which other Python function has called it.</p> make some file named year+month+day (Python) 2012-02-10T23:46:36-08:00ryotaro gotohttp://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/4180840/http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578036-make-some-file-named-yearmonthday/ <p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578036 by <a href="/recipes/users/4180840/">ryotaro goto</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/beginner/">beginner</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/date/">date</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/file/">file</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sys/">sys</a>).
