Is there a way to identify a functions name from within the function?

Question

Is there a way to find a functions name from within the function?

def some_function():
    function_name = ... # some way of retrieving the name 'some_function'
    print(function_name)

The expected value of function_name would be the string: 'some_function'

Take a look for [How to get a function name as a string?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/251464/how-to-get-a-function-name-as-a-string) — nucsit026, Jan 26 '20 at 19:54
`inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name` seems execute the fastest — Arco Bast, Jan 26 '20 at 19:56

some_function.__name__ should work

In which case you may also simply use `'some_function'`… – deceze Jan 26 '20 at 19:35
