<s>[INST] How to get a function name as a string in Python? In Python, how do I get a function name as a string without calling the function?
def my_function():
    pass

print get_function_name_as_string(my_function) # my_function is not in quotes

should output "my_function".
Is this available in python? If not, any idea how to write get_function_name_as_string in Python?
 [/INST] my_function.__name__

Using __name__ is the preferred method as it applies uniformly. Unlike func_name, it works on built-in functions as well:
>>> import time
>>> time.time.func_name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'func_name'
>>> time.time.__name__ 
'time'

Also the double underscores indicate to the reader this is a special attribute. As a bonus, classes and modules have a __name__ attribute too, so you only have remember one special name.
