[Tutor] print method name
i created a class and in some instances when i use it call some of its methods i need to print a method name. the online search did produce some results but none of them seem to work for me. for example one of them said just to use __name__ or func_name but it didn't work for me. i'm using python 3.1.1 any help is appreciated. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It would be better if you send us the code you tried. I'm not sure what you are looking to do. When you invoke the method, do you want it to print its own name? class A(object): ... def first(self): ... pass ... a = A() a.first.__name__ 'first' ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor -- Joel Goldstick ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Instead you'd need to use the the function object itself, IOW don't call foo just do: print foo.__name__ This should work for both python 2 and python 3, and for both class methods or regular functions. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

In most cases if you call a method you know its name... myObj = MyClass() myObj.spam() print Just called MyClass.spam() This would only be useful if you were creating references to methods dynamically or using callbacks from asynchronous messages or something? Just wondering what you are doing that requires this? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
