How can I get the name of the current function / function that called this one?

It's not generally a good programming technique, but there are some
cases (eg: logging framework) where it is very useful to be able to find
the name of the current function, or the function that called this one.
For an illustration of how, see Alex Martelli's recipe in the Python
